A great track, Dave. I love the music of the 1930s in general and the recordings of Lew Stone and Al Bowlly in particular. :D

Glad you liked it, Eddie. That one's a bit unusual as Al Bowlly doesn't just sing a vocal chorus, as was usual for band singers in that period.

Thanks Pete. A great scene from a great film. :D

A special week of beautiful music on Classic FM's late-late show - Myleene Klass, who usually presents Sat/Sun nights, has been standing in for Marguerite Taylor and has excelled herself, its been delightful tuning in from 10pm - 1am!

Keely Smith - You're Breaking My Heart

https://www.dropshots.com/Domino43/date ... 1/11:35:30" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

She was born in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1932. She is half Irish and half Cherokee. Her real name is Dorothy Keely, but she changed it when she became vocalist with Louis Prima's Orchestra in 1949. She and Prima married in 1953, but divorced in 1961.
This song was originally recorded by Vic Damone in 1947, but is based on an old Italian song "Mattinata", recorded in 1904 by Enrico Caruso.

Thought I'd never post this.... Dancing Queen, Abba. Oh dear! I think I'm going sentimental for the 70's! :?

Me too. I remember dancing to that one at our school social when I really was only 17 — although the song itself is a fair bit older than me (and no, I didn't find myself a king on that occasion, but I hadn't really come to look for one)! :lol: :wink:

While listening to my recordings to check out which one I have to discard and which to keep, I just listened to Stevie Nicks' "Beauty and the beast". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X70uN_EtZJA
