'NOW PATHETONE has pleasure in presenting - A singer known to millions of Radio listeners AL BOWLLY, from Lew Stones famous Monseigneur Band.'

~confetta
Pathe Studio, London.
Al Bowlly is dragged onto the set protesting he has work to do. Concedes "Okay, folks. Pathe have finally got me". He calls for Monia Liter, his pianist. He too is dragged onto the set and sits at the grand piano. Al, sitting on the piano, takes Monia's hat and tosses it towards the camera then sings 'The Very Thought Of You'.
Monia does some excellent piano playing - great solo! The song was written by British composer / bandleader Ray Noble.

it is great to see people still love and appreciate him. i come across many lovely old pictures of him, and letters in our family albums and the family is restoring some of his old instruments. all of us are passionate about music, i hope to be able to record with him one day!

Shortly after coming to Chicago in the Fall of 1964 I visited the great Rose Records in the Loop and stumbled across an Al Bowlly section. I'd never heard of him but the album covers intrigued me so I bought an L.P. Thus the beginning of a life long adoration and fascination with this most unique of singers, who ranks right up there with Jolson, Colombo, Crosby and Sinatra. As you can see and hear, he is brilliant and truly charismatic. And known to have been a truly kind and gentle man.

Wish I was born in this era. I don't fit in with people today.

Look at how confident, brash and young they are, way back when. This was their time and they were wallowing in it. This is near the headwaters of cool, ladies and gentlemen.
