Heres tae Will.... His singer-songwriter skills are still well-known today, particularly his composition "I Belong to Glasgow".[1] This song has been covered by Danny Kaye, Eartha Kitt, Gracie Fields and Kirk Douglas: "If your money, you spend, You've nothing to lend, Isn't that all the better for you" As a result of this song, Fyffe became forever associated with Glasgow, but he was born 70 mile away Wiki
will fyffe and harry lauder are forgotten epics now, people sing their songs still here in scotland but most folk have no idea where they came from or even bother to google the origin. im sure one of them or both went platinum, i didnt google to educate myself there.
i was born 82 i heard this in primary school and the only one who remembers it. sang it in glasgow winter there at the old clock december 2023. didnt post it on social media due to certain family members demonizing me for leaving my home to do anything other than visit them.. im sure fyffe was aberdonian , i need to go google again. i will sing this forever and enjoy glasgow my home in secret now
I was actually given a an old wind-up gramophone player and a pile of 78's by my dad's friend who was the head man at the Paisley Cleansing Department yard, back in the late 50's. I was 9. He had a brand new Citroën DS 19, and drove us home. Among the records was I Belong To Glasgow, and on the 'B' side was I'm 94 today.

This is one of the last 78s to be deleted in the UK - it was still available in the mid 50s.
It says a lot for the popularity of this recording that it had such a long catalogue life.

우리나라 코메디언들도 대부분 다방면으로 예술적 재능이 뛰어난데 예전에도 그랬나봐요. 노래, 연기, 춤, 말솜씨도 좋으며 머리도 좋더라구요.
