Gracie Fields Little Old Lady 1936

The famous song from Gracie its one of Gracies most famous songs. I cannot believe it has not been uploaded before enjoy. I think this version of Hogey Carmichaels song is the most famous version, unless you know another version. Jane Horrocks to star on BBC4 later this year playing Gracie. There is also a Gracie Yahoo group.

I heard this on the wireless for the very first time this morning, and I instantly fell in love with it. What a beautiful song.
