I love that song!

I'm listening to French jazz accordianist Gus Viseur. Just discovered his music and I'm enjoying it a lot. Apparently he was popular in Paris during the 1930s-1950s. If anyone likes that European-style French jazz, I'd recommend looking him up. You can find his recordings on YouTube.

ps-Who's Al Bowlly?

South African singer. Little bitty guy about 5'1". Died in an air raid on London. Ladies loved him. Those around here still do.

He liked kitty cats.

Al Bowlly was a 1930s African-born British crooner (who quite literally wrote the book on crooning**). He was very popular during the 30s. He died in 1941 during the Blitz on London. I'm not a girl, but I still love his music. He's a great singer.

**Don't believe me? Here's the book:

EDIT -- He was 5'1"? That's tiny!

Al Bowlly was born in Laurenco Marques, Mozambique of Greek-Lebanese parents and grew up in South Africa.

I think we should digress this thread into nothing but performers under 5' tall... or not. Maybe I just need more coffee

More coffee, yes, but leave the booze out this time :eeek:

Morecambe & Wise (and the BBC News Team) -- There Is Nothing Like A Dame (1969)
These were the actual BBC sports anchors, weathermen and newsmen at the time. People back then had a sense of humor. I just can't imagine Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and certainly not Keith Olbermann or any of the other oh-so-serious media divas of today doing anything like this.

Damn Rue, your no fun at all...btw that was a great clip of KK's band you posted! I wish they would release a box set of his films. The have a really nice cleaned up copy of "You'll Find Out" on the Karloff / Lugosi Classics set, well worth the price alone...

Good one, rue! Ain't that great to know? At the end of the day, we can always agree on good ol' Al...

Here's one of my favorites: The Dinning Sister with "You're a Character, Dear". And what a wonderful performance...
