I was just flicking through music and though to my self I wonder what music of the past sounded like? So here it is interesting how it's changed through the decades 🎼
No one reminds me of my own paternal flapper grandma more than Elsie; except for my sweet female significant other of 19 years. I'm a 57 y/o Elsie fan who hopes to meet her in heaven one day.
I hope you do, jeffcraven7376. Sweetly alone and afraid until she sings about her canary who's been living things up a bit too much. Al Bowlly mentioned him a few years later, too.
Nobody! Pity everybody wasn't there in 1931 to save her. Somehow she managed. She was in many Noel Coward stage shows, was Elsie. She was up there with Gertie Lawrence and all.
Yes dear Elsie! I made a personality profile on Sam Browne. I had many chats with Elsie on the phone and was going to meet her at the Strand Palace Hotel but it fell through! She was very caring in her remarks on Sam. What a personality and this warmth comes through on the film. Dear Elsie. Don Thompson
But, Vera Lynn was a totally other voice.. Elsie was a stage star of that time. Vera was a band singer and had a wonderfully powerful and musical voice, but a different one. No comparison.
Vera was a different era. She sang for the 40s wartime. She began as a teenage singer in the pre war years, that's all. Elsie was representing the Nineteen -20s and the Thirties. Beg pardon my keyboard refuses to print the figure Nine! So Elsie had at least ten or fifteen years start on Vera Lynn. So, you've kind of got your eras confused, that's all.
PS: Firstly, Lynn was a recording artist, singing for several b ands. Elsie was a foremost stage actress, appearing in many Noel Coward plays and musicals. A totally different thing.
Just compare pictures! (Vera was famous for other reasons, wartime songs that struck people's hearts, nothing much to do with attractiveness, a pretty face or a sweet voice.)
Don't want to take away from the magic of the moment here, but don't you think the pianist looks exactly like the character that Harry Enfield plays, when he's talking to "Grayson" lol😄?
One of the great artists of the 1930s - always been a firm favorite of mine - timeless
Wonderful, oh so good! She was very very good. I loved the Canary has circles under his Eyes! I laughed! Thank you so much
92 years ago...amazing!

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for posting this.
Wonderful ❤
I note the singing didn't need to be yelled at full decibels. Just sweetly sang gently with feeling.
Abso-bloody-lutely so. Positively right, dear chap.
I love the piano
very sweet
Why was I born? Now he has gorn.....I love Elsie and her fabulously beautiful gown.
Two wonderful songs ! That canary song is way more dirty than I ever imagined it to be haha

PS: Elsie was no slouch. She was an astute business woman as well. Who wouldn't be her?
I sympathise totally with her canary today. It's poached egg eyes today after no sleep last night!!!!
just love
Elsie reminds me of my paternal grandmother when she was young. Needless to say, my granddad was more than fortunate. RIP Dadden and Nann.
Love these. Just wish they had her other hit on here. 'No one loves a fairy when she's forty.'
how good is this,i am in love 50 years too late me thinks,
How could ANYONE leave her alone and afraid.

She probably just couldn't find him at that moment. He was probably out of sight under a cushion in her livingroom.
PS: If her canary has circles under his eyes, was she looking at a budgie by mistake?

Everyone of this era raves about Vera Lynn, in my opinion Elsie Carlisle was the voice of the 30's and 40's
This wasn't Very Lynn's era. That was 40s wartime Britain. Elsie's voice and style was very much the 20s. Vera hadn't been discovered in this time.

Harry Rubens at the piano.
Might that be Henry Hall at the piano? Anyone know?
Harry Rubens...it said at the start.
