Glen Campbell & Bobbie Gentry - All I Have To Do Is Dream
He had it all - great looks and a terrific voice.
The Best !!
What a splendid programme that features great music and a well written script - so unlike the rubbish we have on too many dumbed down BBC radio programmes these days.. I was fortunate to interview Mary Ellis. Her support for Ivor Novello showed how false Terrence Davies' ghastly treatment of him was in his film Bendiction. Novello was a kind and generous person and not the petty minded monster as portrayed in Davies's film. How sad to realised such a talent is now all but forgotten - ignored by a generation brought up on inferior and far less talented scores. If you find more than one memorable tune in a modern original stage musical you will be lucky. It's only with the juke-box musicals you stand a chance. The ability to compose memorable songs seems to be lost. Thank you for this reminder of a great talent!
A translation would help
The top 500 hits of all time... in Australia?

I really like The Councilaires/Counselaires/Consulaires vocal rendition of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town”.
Ah, the voice of Loretta Young… ❤
Delightful!
Beautiful clarinet from John McCarthy.
Pure artistry.
I bought a CD version of this in high school in the 90’s and know every word and every note. I don’t have a CD player anymore and have missed it so much. Now I can have it back in my Christmas lineup so thank you so much for providing it!
Agatha Christie’s Poirot S2 E1 Peril at End House (Part 1) features a few lines from this track at 13:35 into the episode.
Alternate version?
A young Vera Lynn on vocals
I like the orchestration from the band on this version (which I think is as good as the Carroll Gibbons version) but the vocalist here (don't know who she is) is certainly no Anne Lenner who did a much better job at singing the lyrics on the Gibbons version. The voice of the vocalist here is, unfortunately, particularly grating.
" a shilling a show !" " goodness gracious !" 😮
Rebranded version of the original which was made for 2UE in Sydney then rehashed for their affiliate stations. I think in Sydney they made a TV commercial for 2UE with that as a backdrop showing major Sydney attractions and icons. They were the great days of commercial radio, now long gone.
is it known who did the background vocals? they all sound a lot like bowlly, but I don’t think it was possible at the time to record him multiple times and layer them over each other
Great song, great version. Thanks so much for posting it 👍
Excellent presenter . I listened to him regularly when he hosted a music program on the great late 3KZ which I think would have been in the late sixties or early seventies . And like the music format featured on the above recording of his final 3AK program , the songs he played there were enjoyably diverse , consisting of many genres , catering for all tastes . Wish we had broadcasters like him today .
3AW was the first Melbourne station to drop a marching news theme; 1954?
Discontinued 1965. I visited the site of the Crystal Palace in 2023 to pretend I was listening to this performance live!!!!!
Discontinued September 1959. News theme started around 0:35 on this recording?
Replaced The Thin Red Line c1959 (when the record wore out?). Used on 3AK until GTV bought it out - c 1961?
I recall the news theme was discontinued when 3XY moved from the Princess theatre to Faraday Street, Carlton, c1961.
I like this
Ev'ry time I see a puppy upon a summer's day A puppy dog at play My heart is filled with envy That's because My heart is yearning to pass the time away Like that pup 'cause I'm all fed up And tho' it's wrong to be I long to be     NOW PLAYING   Lazy I want to be lazy I want to be out in the sun With no work to be done Under that awning They call the sky Stretching and yawning And let the world go drifting by I want to peep Through the deep Tangled wildwood Counting sheep 'til I sleep Like a child would With a great big valise full Of books to read where it's peaceful While I'm Killing time Being lazy
Perfect song for the exuberant, thrilling voice of Mr. Jolson!
Looking for a female vocalist beginning with Mary, I have a unreleased duet with Sam Browne on Durium
Toby from Newport here
A great song and a great version very early edition 1940
As an ABC radio presenter based in Albury, this song was requested so many times on my Saturday show. Simple, good music stands the test of time.
You're as pretty as a picture Has anyone ever told you before You're the image of an angel from above And you were just meant for me to adore You're the model of perfection The others are only copies of you Can't you see the only thing that worries me I wonder if you're to good to be true Your eyes, your hair You're a perfect colour scheme You're much too fair You must have stepped out of a dream You're as pretty as a picture A beautiful exhibition of art When I say you fairly take my breath away Just picture what you have done to my heart
This should be on Apple Music! I am a HUGE Al Bowlly fan and I think they recently sang this song in I Love Lucy in a vaudeville skit in "Mertz and Kurtz" (1954)! Anyway, the one on Apple Music STIIIIIIIIIIIIINKS because it's remastered horribly. This is beautiful in contrast! Thanks for posting!
Thanks very much for uploading for us to enjoy! I once owned a copy of this album. Wish I still had it. I became aware of it when a local radio station played back in the late 60s, "The Ballad of Irving". Fell in love with that novelty tune. When I called the station they told me they had obtained it from this album. I went to a local radio station & ordered a copy. Great skits & a great cast!
My Nan used to sing this song all the time, I'm annoyed I can only find it on UA-cam and can't add it to my Spotify playlists. Still it's nice to listen and now I know what song she was singing 😊
What song is this?
I miss you, Mom and Dad. Bing, brings you back. 😢🕊. Bing, Mom and Dad; Rest in paradise. ✨✝️✨
