Can you remember any of the great dance bands of the 40s and 50s?
real music, great singers entertainment in the truest sense of the word.
Who used to sing 'Goodnight Sweetheart'?
My guess - Al Bowlly
Best Wishes to all

[decmangan]

You are correct.

Hi jack. How are you? Engelbert Humperdinck is my guess. Or Cliff Richard...

Does Henry Hall on the Home Service, Saturday night (steam radio) count?

I have heard of Al Bowlly did he not get killed during the war when a bomb fell on the Café de Paris in London's West End ? my mum used to talk about SnakeHips Johnson who the hell was he ?

It was Al Bowly Jack, though I'm not old enough to remember the days of the big bands my Dad was a great of this music, so I grew up with this music as well as the music that was around when I was young. My daughter also loves the music that her grandad loved

Wow! - didn't expect such a response - thanks all.
Am OK but had to have a skin cancer removed from my scalp - on Christmas Eve of all days.
Recovering well - nice to have a young District Nurse call each morning.
Gness - hope you will soon resolve the ear problem

Grannygrunt & Tilly - didn't know 'the Spaniels' but loved their music

\Pixie - it was Al Bowlly - my favourite

Humbersloop - ashamed to have to report no progress but am expecting visitor later this week who is gen on this sort of thing.
Other option is to sell it on ebay!!
Goodnight everyone, God Bless

[nungate]

[gness]

Thanks, Jack..the ear will be fine I'm sure....now you just behave with that young District Nurse!......☺

love the big bands, i was just watching some youtube clip on Buddy Ebsen,
who apart from playing Jed Clampett in Beverley Hillbillies, was one of the best dancers, fantastic swing footage of him and his sister.
Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller my favourite, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington
so many, great songs, great singers like Sinatra

[Zacs-Master]

Good to see you on Jack. It's kip time for me as I'm up at half five. Look after yourself.

[emmie]
