Jack Payne 1899 - 1969. A Tribute.

"I Can't Remember"
Jack Payne & his Band
Vocal chorus, Jack Payne.
Recorded London, June 1933.

December 4th 2009 marks 40 years since the death of one of the greatest names in british dance band music of the 1920's and 1930's - Jack Payne.
A household name to millions during the age of Wireless and Variety his name is largely forgotten today, those who cherished his records, danced to this music and enjoyed the spectacular of his stage shows are sadly few in number but 75 years ago the name Jack Payne meant entertainment and on this channel it still does. Many years have passed since those golden days but to lovers of the great british dance bands his name will never be forgotten.

Thanks to Jack and his Boys - far from forgotten.

I have very fond memories of Jack Payne's prewar recordings but mostly his programmes as a DJ during the fifties and sixties. Thank you so much.

If only the 1920's and 30's bandleaders had lived a little longer they would have enjoyed the ever growing interest in nostalgia for these wonderful records?.

Many thanks!

It's 'THE' Maestro's pleasure. Good to know you are still with us, you cross my mind every now and again!.

You tube problems-kept getting "more than you know" comments for this?A beautiful melodic waltz to commemorate his passing.

[85scampi]

Although YT seems to have "forgotten" my previous comment, fortunately Jack Payne is all but vanished from our collective memory :-)

Jack Payne will be bringing listening pleasure to some of us for another 50 years or so yet, with every chance that during each passing decade some more people will become as engrossed with his band as we have; he only started his band in 1986 as far as I'm concerned!!! Great number this and a super little tribute. Well done.

Thanks. He deserves to be remembered.
