I really appreciate what you did here putting these rare clips together. Ray and Al created a wonderful sound together. The movie The Shining wouldn't be the same without them.
i WAS BORN IN 1941, THE YEAR AL WAS KILLED, BUT GREW UP WITH THE SOUND OF THAT ERA, ALWAYS IN MY EARS, AS A 1950'S TEENAGER, I LIKED 'POP MUSIC, BUT MUSIC OF PREVIOUS DECADES TOO. IT ALL DEPENDS ON QUALITY AND APPEAL.
I have only just discovered these clips and they are a wonderful part of musical history and talent. I was born in the late sixties and my everyday preferences for music are varied but i love the art deco period of music, fashion and architecture. My parents in law loved big bands and grew up going to dance halls etc. i love jazz, blues and these guys are so talented compared to some of the so called pop stars of today. This is class and style. Please keep the clips coming
wHEN YOU COME ACCROSS A AL BOWLLY RECORDING ON YOU TUBE, JUST BY CHANCE, YOU CANNOT JUST LISTEN TO IT ONCE. PLUS, IT SETS YOU OFF LOOKING FOR HIS OTHER SONGS. I'VE JUST ENJOYED HIS ''BY THE FIRSESIDE'' TWICE, OF COURSE. ONE OF HIS TOP SELLER'S, FROM 1936. WONDERFUL BACKING TOO.
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 Oh he will indeed. Al and the fellas had to live through world war 2 with coal shortages, the blackouts, The Blitz and rations. And when they were teenagers the 1918 influenza pandemic. Harder times than now.
Even sadder is the pianist Mona Litre went to visit him the next day and he was already zipped up in a body bag. According to Mona Litre it was horrendous.
Why haven't they made a docu-drama about Al Bowlly? I'm a product of the 1960s but I appreciate great music when I hear it. & Al had it in spades. I read about him, a Lebanese man who travelled all over Africa before he settled in England. He was killed in a bombing raid by the Nazis in the 40s. There is a great story to tell. Finding the right charismatic would be difficult. He reminds me of a young Cary Grant.
There is a small documentary about him on UA-cam it features, Roy Fox, Ray Noble, Joyce stone, Nat Gonella. Mona Lita, Tiny Winters and a couple of others. Can't remeber the title of the Doc right now though unfortunately, something. There really should be a Docudrama about him though,
Where can you find this version with violins? From minute 0:39 to 0:59, because then they change to the one we all know. That version with violins is beautiful
Hi Fermin, that part comes from a television series from 1948 called "musical go round". I'm not sure if it's still on UA-cam but I will upload it on here sometime 👍
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 thank you so much! I hope they continue to expand the beautiful legacy that Al Bowlly left us. A hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
I can also confirm that the Orchestra on there is indeed the RAY NOBLE ORCHESTRA! I was never sure but I just had it confirmed as I was watching it. However it is the American orchestra not the English one. You're welcome 👍
Cool bro, but what's with the creepy echo in so many, if not all, of the Ray Noble/Al Bowlly songs? Is it added? Personally it kinda dampens the music for me, though I get that some people might enjoy it because of the nod to The Shining or something... EDIT: if anyone is curious about what it's like to talk to a madman, but an angry one, not the sweet harmless kind, then read this thread. Notice how a great drama plays out entirely in their own world, and they actually feel it intensely. It's fascinating.
Since you're the only one that seems to be hearing a "creepy echo" maybe you could be the one to answer the question. I can't hear any creepy echo. Apart from the voice overs at the end and I wouldn't really call them creepy
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 You don't know if I'm the only one. Maybe I'm just the first to mention it, maybe even some viewers know you'd get snappy for no reason. I can only speculate. Here's the version without any echo or distortion. If you don't see a difference I suggest you have your ears examined. ua-cam.com/video/ZOgWmzLHRXc/v-deo.html
Maybe you might stop changing your account name. Maybe maybe maybe. Maybe baby. Maybe you might even get over me enhancing the sound so it sounds better. Maybe?
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 "Changing my account name"? Are you high? My account is the same as always, I'm not even a regular on your channel. What I said about you needing to have your ears checked, forget that. Your ridiculous rant shows you have bigger issues. Meds is what you need, Karen.
Hi there what particular footage are you referring To? I usually enhance and edit before I use them,so I find it strange that it would look lesser quality than it was originally. Yes technically in the internet world it would be classed as "stolen" but then I guess we're all guilty in that sense of the word. In any case I owe a big Thank you because without it My video would not be possible.
By the way. It's funny how people seem to complain ONLY when the footage is at last being watched. If nobody was watching it I bet there would be CRICKETS 👈😉😄👍
A beautiful voice. He sang all his songs with a passion+feeling that made him, uniquely, like no other.
Inimitable I couldn’t agree more
I wish music still had soul and conveyed felling like it used to. I love this.
1like to hear al bowlly on my 1940 radio@@jonathanfoster1068
So glad to have this record in my collection. Such a relaxing and humble tune, not to mention the outstanding vocal by AL bowlly. Good night al RIP 🙏
My beloved heard this playing on the turntable, and he turned the volume up and started dancing with me. Still madly in love.
LOVELY, LONG MAY YOU SHARE YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER.
He will never be forgotten, he was and always will be an amazing singer with many talents.
I'm going to make sure he is never forgotten. The whole world should know about Al 🙏💓
Great shot of Al as one of the band, then taking the spotlight, next to Ray
Shows him in action!
I really appreciate what you did here putting these rare clips together. Ray and Al created a wonderful sound together. The movie The Shining wouldn't be the same without them.
beautiful man with a gorgeous voice
Yet another wonderful video enhanced and made available for future generations to enjoy. 👍
Keep his memory alive with posts, Ray and Al. Special thanks to Kubrick for The Shining and giving them both a place in cinema history.
Hear hear! 🙏💓
Que bien que cantaba Al Bowlly. Un inolvidable

We'd be all crazy if we didn't 🤪🥰

Thankyou for that bit of info. Do you know which episode?
Love it! Well done!
Thankyou NightOwl
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 I love watching your Al videos. I like that you put the names of the musicians there too.
@@timefortea1931 thanks, I think it`s important for the musicians to get recognition too.
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 Totally agree as they were brilliant!
To think he died ten years later...
A Very sad truth 😢
Even sadder is the pianist Mona Litre went to visit him the next day and he was already zipped up in a body bag. According to Mona Litre it was horrendous.
If it was Al Bowlly he died from a German Air Raid
