My whole life I've been singing "......city of a million something or others". I'm surprised at the number of people who have mainly heard it on Jeeves and Wooster (Myself included) and I must say, I'm very ashamed of myself.
I heard this when I was six years old and was given it or a red RCA record speed 78 by my grandfather. Its a song that's haunted me for years and brings back such wonderful memories. I love all types of music and this as others joins my life story in music. Brilliant, it may not be Led Zeppelin but is just as good musically
At last! "City of a million MELODIES", not "something or others" as dear old Bertie said. I must say that, I'm quite confused as to why the montage consists of pictures of what looks like Croatia (and Zurich in the last couple of photos) and not Vienna.
'Now livers kiss beneath your linden trees' - when the vocal was regarded as a mere detail appended to the musical arrangement and seldom treated as a reason for rejection.
What can you say? Al Bowlly and Roy Fox - magic!

Recorded in London on 22 March 1932.
Another example of Al's seemingly effortless vocal enhancing a smooth score.

Never be ashamed of Jeeves and Wooster.
How perfectly lovely.
Most tasteful arrangement
Thanks for posting this. The music & video, nicely done.

+Thought one shot looked like Sienna.
"Goooooood Afternoooooonnnn Jeeeeeeeves...."
Looks more like some north Italian city but not Vienna!
the photos are nice - but not the typical vienna you have in mind especially if you see it today
Fox trot style is OK but I prefer it as a Tango. See Ray Nobles Orchestra with Al Bowly
A double, Me Too, Me. Too

Surely Not? Must have been gone unnoticed until it was too late.
Now lovers kiss? You must have watched too much Peter Kay!
Maybe Rigsby's cat.....!!
