Hello Grzegorz and everybody who "clicks" here - this tune and the arrangements sound great. No doubt many artists interpreted this piece according to their tastes - however - I find this one - extremely beautiful. Al Bowlly was a gifted vocalist - it's a shame he died young. Thanks a million for this masterpiece. Sending you and all of us lots of big greetings from sunny, hilly and hot (tomorrow will be much cooler and not humid - thank God) -vicinity of New York City.
This song always makes me think of my mother, as it was a favorite of hers. A wonderful version here -- and I don't recall having heard the verse until now. I've been on a big Al Bowlly kick lately, so I was glad to hear this one. A very atmospheric presentation!
When preparing this note I found a little unknown detail from Al Bowlly's bioghraphy - how unfair he was towards a poor sick American in London, abandoning his band and going to another when Fox was in sanatorium in Switzerland. This shows how unscrupulous was then a struggle between dance bands in UK. There were plenty of great orchestras in London, and the best restaurants in West End - just a few.
Trombonology Erstwhile The way I understand it. Fox left the band business for a short period of time and Lew Stone took over the entire band including guitar/vocalist Bowlly
Potwierdzam mistrzostwo!!!!Znowóż zadumalam sie ,Byłam jak w transie ,a więc dzialasz jak narkotyk!! Albo Twój film,Bardzo bardzo zadumałam się .Trwaj chwilo!!!
First everywhere at the end of time fan here?

Beautiful
probably the most feeling version of this song, a sort of end of life song.
Wow this is magical
Had two copies of this at one time. Don't ask me why.

Nie psuj mnie, Kitka, bo mnie zepsujesz :-) I co wtedy będzie?

Very tuneful indeed. Lovely solo on the saxophone
Extremely interesting historic background of this melancholic rendition, thanks! Is it the version with Al Bowlly as vocalist?
Certainly, the Bowlly's voice is well heard in that male-trio.
