I love this, the music from this era is so much better than what we have today. Anne Lenner's voice is just lovely.

@jack11anbar - Grzegorz' uploads are helping me compile a stellar music collection of this musical genre. My 425 playlists of up to 2 hrs each let you hear sounds of any of the past 120 years. Listen like you've gone back in time!
300 more lists let you hear 300 different artists and genres. Take a look?

I believe my uncle Jeff Pretty played piano in the Savoy Orpheans just before the war (he certainly played piano at the Savoy Hotel until the outbreak of war) but I am not sure when he started with them. Would you know the names of any of the artistes?

It is true. I remember that my father had a Strauss Waltzes LP from the end of the fifties played with bravura by Melachrino for RCA.
Charming song performed with great style by Gibbons and Savoy Orpheans in the Golden Days of the British Orchestras. Thanks Grzegorz!

Thanks Masquerade, in this recording the real revelation for me is the singing of Anne Lenner & George Melachrino. I remember from my early childhood the radio concerts with his name often mentioned as a bandleader, but I wouldn't ever think that earlier he used to be such a good singer!

Thanks fo posting this song. Just one thing - the female voice is ANNE Lenner, not Vanne. This I can tell you for certain because Anne Lenner is my Aunt.

Hi, and thanks!!! Ofcourse, I'm immediately correcting my note. So, you confirm it's her who sings here so beautifully ? I was not sure about it, as the label gives no details and only in the web I found some information about this recording (- not very correct, as it shows)
