A terrific version of this song! I was looking for the sheet music online the other day & I saw that this song was first published in 1912. Wow! 99 years old and still a wonderful song!

:D another al fan, great stuff. Yes He's something special, I'm 18 years old and I listen to 1920s and 1930s music, he's one of my favourites :) x

@prettyparisian Hi Pretty P....Great comment about Al Bowlly...I've liked his music for years and was so pleased to see actual video .... yes a really rare gem :-)
He's so beautiful, I think this is a truly lovely rendition of the song :D Thanks for sharing, like Bixfan said, it's nice to see al and monia without the text on top. Love how he starts dancing as the music picks up pace, what an absolute charmer and a gem al was xxxx

A wonderful performance, and it's great to see without the usual "watermark" on it. Many thanks.

Many thanks. As most of my other videos, this was digitalised from a 16mm film in my collection.
