    Gracie Fields performs one of her most popular comedy songs ''Walter, Walter''. This video is an absolute lesson in delivery of a comic monologue.
    Taken from the film 'We're Going To Be Rich', which -as yet sadly, has yet to have a DVD release.

      She is amazing. Are you the real Carole King? If so you are amazing as well.

      @@carolking6355 thanks for getting back. You are sweet. I love Carol King, too. I’ve been watching a lot of movies with Our Gracie in them. She was amazing as could be. My sister and I both write and sing songs, but we’re very old-fashioned as far as music goes.

      @@carolking6355 well, we used to do it, but when all of this computer stuff started, it was very discouraging to see the bad talent, and I’ve known people who got caught up in drugs and too much stuff. It just seemed like fame wasn’t important when I had kids to raise. I absolutely love Matromony. That was so touching. The one from 39 is very moving. Believe it or not, we’re both in our forties. We just hate this horrible stuff they’re trying to pass off as music now. No one wants to work hard at their craft. Back then, you had to be good. What a range and whistle she had! I don’t think she gets the credit for being instrumental in the war effort.

    My grandfather used to say that if Gracie Fields had not existed, Germany wouldn't have put so much effort into bombing England.
