Steve from Reading what you said I can safely say you and I are exactly on the same team. I agree with everything you said above as I've seen this for myself. I once made a very bad mistake by posting one of my first videos in a Facebook group supposedly fans of his music and received nothing but abuse that was a wake up call for me. I seriously couldn't understand what I did wrong. I'm very thick skinned and have no problem with anyones feedback but they were just being nasty for nastiness sake. I have come to learn that there are some that don't love the music they are in love with the very badly recorded sounds and the harsh hisses of the gramophone needle. Steve stay tuned I've just had a break through in enhancing the quality of those beautiful songs I kid you not. The channel past perfect has done an amazing job at that and I would never want to take anything away from what they have achieved in doing that but I have just gone a step further I'm not saying my ones will be better but for me I am amazed and overwhelmed with how incredible the music sounds in what I have done. In fact I think I may have to re upload my videos with the new sound because although the videos werel very much inspired by the music I think I the sound compares nothing to how I have enhanced it now. Wait until you hear it. I'm just thinking how I'm going to introduce it because I think this is going to be a great turning point in that people will now be able to acrually hear the instruments and the beautiful and very clever arrangements of these performances. Steve that's a promise. Gonna upload something soon maybe a medly just as an example of what I'm talking about. You better prepare your ears because you will be amazed lol 👍

ps my most favourite is "dont tell a soul" roy fox i play it an play it! i LOVE joe ferrie.s voice1 i think he is the best singer in the lew stone band after al bowlly and is especially good at the "noel cwardish" numbers another favourite by him is "my hearts desire" please do that one welcome mate im right with you
I only came by this music through the tv series pennies from heavan which came out in the 80s in the uk I bought the soundtrack and discovered al bowly
So cool. It blows my mind a little bit to hear something so familiar to me, being played and enjoyed so long ago. Never knew that white town song even used samples.
Just looked up the song that you're talking about. I'm sure Lew Stone would be very proud and even overwhelmed to have his music sampled and loved by a generation born nearly a century after this classic was made. I know I would be 👍
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 and more latterly sample been used again, (white town was 1997 and now (well july 2021 to be exact) Dua Lipa, Love again :)
I am happy that you made this version available. It seems to be my mission to refer to Bing Crosby and Al Jowlly for every person who listens to Whitetown, Dua Lipa, Xanti and think they are the originals. It drives me nuts, including people who thing THOSE versions were inspired by John William's Imperial March. I don't know much about 1930s music, but correcting people on this one thing I have made my mission. : -) Keep up the good work!
Al Bowlly was brilliant, talented and a truly an entertainer!! He died way too soon, just imagine if he would have lived to be an old man? The world could have been a happier place to live in....... As always, thanks for sharing!
Hi Joylunn, life is full of ghosts, most of them live in our minds. If you look for them you will always find them. If they are ghosts well they created some very beautiful music. Only the living could create such a thing. The dead cannot create anything. Try to look on the bright side of life as Al said once 😃👍
All I Gotta say is this what you had to have talent to be in the band!!!! People were still held to the standards we wouldn’t have the trash garbage music we have in 2023s just makes me want to vomit at least there’s good old stuff to listen to you where people were talent. Boy do I miss talented music!!!!
Another sample: Kush Kush - Fight Back With Love Tonight [Official Video] (2017) and another: Kate Earl (born Kate Smithson) - All That Glitters [Official Video] (2017)
Cuando escucho a estos artistas del pasado puedo comprender por que sus canciones y musica han sobrevivido hasta la epoca actual, son varios artistas los que han usado este sonido white town-your woman, earl-all that glitters y dua lipa-love again. Otra cancion que tambien transcendio diferentes genraciones fue Puttin on the ritz de irving Berlin, Fred astaire, taco y Herb alpazaire sin duda tienen una magia que no se ve en las actules producciones.

Hi, His name was Harry Berly, he was a classically trained violinist, he suffered from very bad insomnia, as quite a lot of musicians did in those days due to late nights playing and rehearsing in the day, he also suffered deep depression and ended his life by jumping in front of a tube train at the Oval underground station in London. He was only in his early 30s. 👍

It’s used in a Dua Lipa song now. It’s got the line “You’ve got me in love again”

And in Chris Webby Don corleone
And a song a guy sung about how he could never be your woman or something like that…
I recently discovered it was also sampled by James Horner in his main title theme to "Something Wicked This Way Comes."
Recorded in London on 29 November 1932 (Decca label).

What an absolutely wonderful music video you have spliced together.
Thankyou so much. It had to be done 👍

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you!
You're very welcome 👍
Wonderful, i love the clever editing, Its such a treat to see footage like this. First class musicians. ❤
Unfortunately a few of those depicted did not have either long nor happy lives which makes me think I'm looking at a film of ghosts.
Hi Joylunn, life is full of ghosts, most of them live in our minds. If you look for them you will always find them. If they are ghosts well they created some very beautiful music. Only the living could create such a thing. The dead cannot create anything. Try to look on the bright side of life as Al said once 😃👍
Niiiice, luv the piece that swings and still jams even by today's standards which clearly is shown by being sampled for that Dua Lipa song!
I think she used it via Your Woman by White Town
Great edit! Lends a haunting quality. Love it
The best version of the Song. Love it. ❤ Who's Dua Lipa? 😉
I was told she is a vocalist 👍

THE INTRO OF LOVE AGAIN OMG
Yeah! But the first sample of this song was 1997 "Your woman - White Town"
Yeah that was sample from White town And that was sample from this
Yes I see how people can make the argument it was a better time back then
This song reminds me of me winning a fight in a way and this song plays during my win
Same here everytime I win a fight with my pillow. I look at whose stole all the duvet and it's my woman 👈😆
