    My 89 yr old mother can't get enough of Eddy Howard's music. I play his songs when I take her out walking for exercise. She starts to sing along and probably channels her younger days.😊

    I can't hear Eddy Howard without thinking of my mother, as she was a fan. He actually seems now to have been something of an anomaly among her favorite vocalists, who were generally hipper and more jazz-oriented. His pure tone and sincere delivery are as effective here as -- if not more so than -- on the Jurgens band original.

      Howard's delivery is consistently of an unaffected, down home quality,be it a ballad as shown here,or an up tempo number like," Ragtime Cowboy Joe", a favorite of mine.

    I think of all of the concert level band/orchestra musicians in America and we don't have places to go see and hear them anymore.
    Concert halls are only used occasionally and there's no place to ball room dance in those.

      What a pity that is. I'd pay handsomely for the privilege, too!

    Excellent voice and words. I am 88 and remember them all.

    I think this is lovely. Eddy Howard is another new name for me, but with an excellent delivery, beautiful sense of pitch, and timing. He would have sounded very much at home in a British band of that period, or even slightly earlier.

    This is the "Careless" recording I had heard numerous times on radio station KCHJ from Delano, California in 1967 while I was in the Air Force. Of course, I learned it and all the lyrics. It is the version Howard redid after he had his own orchestra.
    One of the funniest things that ever happened with a new girlfriend was when we were driving back in Bakersfield from shopping and she told me her accordion was being shipped out to her. I asked her what tunes she played on it, and she replied that there were several, but one was her favorite. I asked her what it was, but she wouldn't tell me, saying "Oh, you wouldn't know it, it wasn't very popular." I repeated, "Tell me, I might know it!" She refused, insisting I wouldn't know it. Finally she gave in and said, sheepishly, "It's called 'Careless.'"
    I sang the whole thing immediately. She wouldn't talk to me for 5 minutes.
    Of course it was quite popular in 1940, and Eddy Howard included his remake on the Mercury "Best of" LP.
