Gracie Fields was a true Icon and I am one of her many fans, I did somthing about my fascination by compiling cds Ramona Requests 1930-52, and The latest one The Real Gracie Fields hits and rarities 1928-60, A lot of material on this 105 track 4 set cd is Radio and a few tv soundtracks. A true fan shares material to preserve an Icons standing mission complete for me, thanks so much for sharing this FABULOUS.
@yasminx16 Me too, I get very teary watching her sing and seeing old clips of the performers who kept the troops' spirits up. It was a totally different generation back then.
She did an open air performance on a yacht not long after this appearance but had contracted pneumonia and died.Its great to see a working class performer become a star.
Dame Gracie put Rochdale on the map and the town is extremely proud of her. It now needs another superstar like her to lift it out of the doldrums.

My main memory of this show was the National Anthem at the end. A stage awash with "singers". Harry Secombe and Gracie effectively sang it as a duet.

There was secret with that performance , The microphone she is standing in front off couldn`t be make to work when she sang that final song.
What you heard was raw talent that very few could master in those days and none today.
Gracie was a true artiste in every sense of the word, and would never let her public down
