Wonderful just wonderful

Wonderful. I was born too late as well for such greats as Bowwly, Columbo and Nelson Eddy.

He was often described as a pint sized Cary Grant. He had a fantastic voice and sadly was lost during WW11. Ray Nobel came to the states but never had the success he had with the Mayfair Orchestra in London.

It's folks like you you that keep this music alive. Ray and Al are two of my favorites.

Mr Bowlly, the very thought of you makes me so happy.

Beautiful!!

@Blonde7362 - In my view, the greatest singer whoever lived. What a pity most of us weren't around when Al was King. Will we ever see Al Bowlly's equal? I don't think so.

What a voice....beyond compare. Great song, wonderful singer.

"The Very Thought of You"--timeless, immortal, as if from Cole Porter's sheet music!

I really liked the violin work around 3:10, and I like the nostalgia of Bowlly's voice, but I have to say I prefer Nat King Cole's version.
Ah shit. I was born 70 years to late.

How could they know during that awful air raid we were to lose the talented singer Al Bowlly. This record is a class title and he executes it perfectly. His voice is so distinct that i was in a music shop once and they were playing a song of his and I asked if it was him, purely as to me his voice was so unique. The surprise of the person behind the deck was funny, as i was young. Al Bowlly is still one of my favourites. I am glad to read other young people also listen to his talent.Thanks..
