Mr. Bowlly could sing any song in any genre and make it better. Had her survived the Blitz he would still be with us, still a great star, and still recording I'm sure.

@bobbybyxby - I see you're 66. That''s old? If you can enjoy music like this and some of the 60s music as your chanel indicates you do, you're a long way from being old. Cheers!

That's Mario di Pietro - a British banjo virtuoso, and his "Gypsy" band beginning at 1 minute. He can be seen on the British Pathe website, and is definitely worth checking out.

I'm very old now.....but his music still rings in my ears.

Art Tatum played a great version also!

ha ha don fannuci ! what a joker. i think his performance was outstanding in the film... especially when he talks about wetting his beak!

1954 Louis Armstrong did a version called "Otchi-Tchor-Ni-Ya", which in his unique New Orleans Creole patois sounded like "Oh Cha Chunya". The words were quite different from the proper translation of the song from Russian to English.
