I have become a fan of Al Bowlly just last week. He's just fantastic. So is Ray Noble's orchestra. I want to promote other singers of this era: the Italians Carlo Buti and Daniele Serra. These three make an extraordinary music collection! ;-)

I like Ray and Al too and have a number of their recordings. Thanks for stopping by.

This is pure romance as good as only Bowlly and Noble could do. I like very much the photos!

You are so right my friend. These two were one of those magic combination's and though it was for just a short time they left us an exquisite output.

Heard snippets of this version in the Dutch WW2 movie Solder of Orange and

had to track it down. Yup, this is the one. Excellent.

Thank you, this is the version I remember hearing at an Aunt's house when I was a little girl.

There's something so fascinating about Mr Bowlly's voice. He has that weird, posh-cockney classless twang you never hear anymore, mixed with a faux-American accent and presumably a bit of a Maltese accent too. Very easy on the ear.

I use to listen to this song on a 78 record w/a victrola

It is always a treat to hear Al Bowlly, my parents brought me up with musicof this era,

romantic, easy to listen to, harkens back to a time of elagance and style, what more can I say. gage
