@oneoneone5 Fuck off, this is a rip off
-
@noahtogg He began those outrageous jokes about Lionel Blair's sexuality and I have to admit that Jack Dee does a good job in upholding that tradition. The funniest long running joke I've ever heard. Lionel Blair and his wife were quite vituperative when Humph died. In any event, I wish you peace and well-being.

wish i could still play....:)

The hit was produced by Joe Meek. Humph hated what he heard, but by the time he (Humph) came back off holiday and heard the heavily compressed mix, it was too late. Released and a monster hit. And, yes... it was the inspiration behind 'Lady Madonna'
-
@WormYourHonor64 I see what you did there :)

¿Cómo se llama el pianista? ¡es estupendo!
-
@catchsight Was definitely an inspiration for Lady Madonna. But anyone (like anonUK) who thinks the Beatles ripped off the song is ignorant. Every musician draws inspiration from someone. Unless you can find the first person ever to make music, everyone has been ripping off someone I guess.

Sorry if this post gets repeated: Humph, you are missed - Acton Town to Woodside Park, there was no-one better. You weren't too bad at the trumpet either. I hope you are looking down on us, Samantha on your right hand, and smiling indulgently. Yep. Missed.

Brilliant! but very sadly missed; Jack Dee simply isn't quite as good and as for humph's music...well it's irreplaceable!

One cool senior citizen and a killer riff to boot RIP Hump never forgotten!

One of my all time favourites. The best British jazz number ever.
