I was in the Royal Navy in the 1950's and had to wear Bellbottoms even when on leave as we were not allowed to wear civvys. Hated this song as I liked ballroom dancing and when the band saw you dancing in uniform they would strike up with "Bellbottom Blues" and everyone would stand and clap us.
Alma's very first UK hit in 1954 ... she had a string of hits right through to 1961 ... and continued to make quality records right up to her untimely death in 1966.
I remember singing this at my local cinema on the saturday morning Matinee,I was 8 years old at the time and Alma has been one of my favourites since then and she was one of the female vocalists in the 50's and early 60's that were instrumental in helping me with their songs to become an entertainer myself.Thanks Alma....
Just created an Alma Cogan playlist tonight, but better than that.............
I'm playlisting music for each of the past 100 years - this just added to 1954. You can travel back musically to any year you choose on my channel ! ! ! ! ! !

she had a 'giggle' in her voice because she couldn't reach the high notes and the 'giggle' covered up for that fact.
