This is my George Formby channel. For each video, I try to provide key information such as the title of the film it is taken from, the year it was made and the name of the composer of the song. One point to note though - George Formby himself is often credited as a composer but this is more than likely an honorary credit given to him for performing it or making minor tweaks. I've included lyrics with some videos. Keep checking back, because I am gradually replacing most of these clips with High Quality versions.

What is this pop song called?
WHAT IS THIS SONG CALLED? It was played a lot at the Hotel America in Majorca (or Mallorca if you want to spell it that way). They played it whilst the hotel entertainment team did a funny dance by the pool whilst the guests in the pool copied them. Just curious what the song is. The only way I can describe it is to sing it, hence this awful rendition.

Tabs for You're Everything to Me by George Formby
Переглядів 15 тис.15 років тому
These are the chords that sound right to me, from what I can hear. That's not to say they're the definitive version; not all the chords exactly match the orchestra, but they work well for the uke when you play along to the original. I suspect this tune would be better suited to a normal soprano uke rather than a banjolele (think of Joe Brown's performance of "I'll See You In My Dreams" at the t...

If - Bread cover - Ukulele Cheesy Chillout version
Переглядів 1,7 тис.15 років тому
This is my take on Bread's "If" written by the brilliant David Gates, played on my banjo-ukulele, with super smooth trombone sounds coming from the keyboard behind me. I'm going for a kind of "Mellow Yellow" style. Sorry about the poor sound quality, all I've got is my digital camera.

Boy is she pretty
This song was played at my old man's funeral, as we were walking out after the service. He like George Formby, and we have family connections on the IOM. My dad was evacuated there during the war, he also raced bikes and he had raced on the island.
She's sixty-six but she looks sixteen .
God bless you George. Did more to boost British morale, when he smacked Hitler "take that Adolf!" in one of his films, than anyone but Churchill.
He was absolutely brilliant. I wish they would put all his films on tv.
There was no need for him to count the pianist in.
Hey! I've heard that his fans included four lads from Liverpool. It's quite unfortunate that he didn't live long enough to see the rise of British rock and roll in the sixties. Many of the young artists were childhood fans of his.
A Pakistani comedian singer copied Geroge’s acting from this song

In North Africa in 1943, the Yank troops got entertained by Marlene Dietrich while our lot got landed with this bs.
Excelente 👌 ❤
He’s the best. Need more brits like our George
I love watching his films even still the best god bless him amen 🙏 💕
GET THE CORNED BEEF OUT....FANNY...😮
A Comedian who couldn’t tell Jokes- an actor who couldn’t act. George Formby had a special magic that lit up the stage. He was a unique talent who kept this country smiling in the darkest time.
Growing up in the 80’s my grandad got me into George Formby (plus Norman Wisdom) there always seemed to be reruns on, loved watching these silly films with him having a great laugh. Plus Abbott and Costello and the Road to… films with Bob Hope. 😂 😂
" good one im still listening 🎶 " its bean 4yrs now !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 ahh ahhhhh
I sang this to my daughter when she was small - she would say "Sing Chairs". Shame it didn't get played as much as his other songs.
For some reason i cant hear the sound, i know this clip is great as i heard it before.
This is one of my favourite songs of George
This is a fantastic record love you George rip miss you so much
Wonderful.
A comic policeman. Today we've got thousands of 'em, and they're not acting!
All these comments are wonderful, I've pressed the like button on all that I've read up until now, brilliant George formby, a time which seems so innocent compared to today. He was a delight as we're his films. A time lost forever, we are the poorer for that. Joyous memories. Thank you George.
Turned out nice again
Brilliant thanks sxx bravo juliett

This is was my grandads favourite artist he loved this song I always remember my grandad with this song
I love this song ❤
You are So Right . No Matter what, George Always makes Smile !
He brought so much joy to people, especially during the Second World War. He was banned occasionally from BBC Radio due to his lyrics. It is interesting to hear him bend notes 30+ years before the late Eddy Van Halen. He also had an influence on a young physics and astronomy student who also craved a career in music. Brian May from Queen used his father’s George Formby uke banjo in 2 songs; Bring Back That Leroy Brown and Good Company.
