Roy Fox & His Monseigneur Restaurant Band, Voc. Al Bowlly - Kiss By Kiss, Decca 1932 (UK)
NOTE: Cornettist-leader Roy Fox was born in Denver, Colorado and came to Britain on a short contract to play at the Cafe de Paris. Although the band he brought with him made little impression, Roy was invited to stay and form a band to play at the newly opened Monseigneur Restaurant and to assist Decca in improving their recordings. This he did and his star-studded band was an immediate success. Following an illness in 1932, Roy left the restaurant and formed a new band to play at the Cafe Anglais. From there he moved to the Kit-Kat and subsequently toured for some years, before his illness (pleurisy) struck again and he disbanded in 1938 and then went to Australia. Due to the wartime restrictions, he had to return to America, but returned to Britain afterwards, but never regained his pre-war popularity.

Poor Bowlly, if only he had gone to the air-raid shelter that Nazi rocket would not have killed him. I once wrote a poem about that, but few these days have heard of him in America. :((
