The High Hatters -- Daddy, Won't You Please Come Home (1929)
(vocal by Belle Mann)

[video=youtube;RrB5EyBA9_E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrB5EyBA9_E&feature=related[/video]

Night after night I'm cryin' daddy won't you please come home?
Daddy won't you please come home, I'm so lonesome.
No one can fill that vacant chair,
Home isn't home when you're not there.

No need to knock, the door is open for you sweet daddy.
Even the clock keeps tickin',
Daddy won't you please come home?
Daddy do you have to roam so very long?

There are lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin',
Haven't slipped yet but I'm liable to weaken..
Daddy daddy won't you please come home.

Currently playing a bunch of my older sisters old 45's which I salvaged many years back, and I find a couple of E.P.'s of Pat Boone... I keep playing 'I'll Be Home'... I can't sing to save my life, but I can mumble and groan the lyrics.... yep, I like this a lot !!! I know it is unforgivable, but I also find myself quietly mouthing 'Sweet Nuthins' lyrics as well by Brenda Lee...... I have no excuses at all, sorry..

Al Bowlly with his wonderfull rendition of 'Bei Mir Bist Du Shein', which he recorded in 1938

Also, from my personal collection, Al Bowlly again with 'The Old Man Of The Mountain'. To my knowledge - and much to my regret - Youtube does not seem to have a clip with the song so you have to take my word for it that it's a smashing recording. Al really had something special going with his voice. His overall singing style, his phrasing and expression made him stand out from most of the other singers of the time. It's for a reason that he is credited for having invented the crooning style that eventually became the standard through the 30's and 40's (prominently led by Bing Crosby). Way to go, Al! And to think that he was killed by a German parachute mine... :(
