The forgotten Al Bowlly: The singer, killed by Nazi bombs, now celebrated by King Charles III and Dua Lipa.
Few people know his name, but his voice and songs are famous in popular culture, thanks to films like ‘The Shining’ and hit songs like ‘My Woman.’
Today, pop stars like Dua Lipa and Lana Del Rey count themselves as fans.

RE: https://tenforward.social/@djwudi/115990071280109729
You only need to change a few words to update When That Man Is Dead And Gone:
Some fine day the news'll flash
Satan with that orange rash
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and goneTho' I think it sounds a bit more 1940 to say "that awful rash"; it'd certainly be easier to sing.
I'm not into Al Bowlly's extended lyrics; the line about Goering's difficult in multiple ways:
Satan'll take him by the hand
To meet old Goering, luftwaffe manBut maybe (with context):
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Satan with those tiny hands
will fall into hell's hinterlands
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone#song #lyrics #update #GlennMiller #AlBowlly #WhenThatManIsDeadAndGone #FuckTrump

Some sentimental self indulgence, as I’ve always loved Al Bowlly’s version of “Blue Moon”. We own an original 78, recorded in New York on January 12th, 1935.
Sadly, Al was killed during a German air raid on London in 1941, but left behind a great musical legacy. If you ever see a 78 of “Midnight, The Stars And You” lying around, take good care of it. You may be £700 to £800 richer!

We’ve collected 78’s for years, but this is something else! Just under 4 days to go, and “Midnight, The Stars And You” has hit £2000 and is still rising. If you’re curious, it’s the closing theme from “The Shining” starring Jack Nicholson. Played at the end of the film when he appears in an old B&W photo. -

An ongoing auction, and the most amazing thing I’ve seen on eBay. I put in a bid not knowing how rare this Al Bowlly record actually was. If you’re a horror movie fan, or a fan of Stephen King’s “The Shining” you may recognise it.
Check your lofts, and any old boxes. You may have a fortune and not know it!

It's because #AlBowlly is one of my favourite ever singers, maybe the top, tbh. I wish more people knew his work, he should be as famous as Bing Crosby or Sinatra. :ablobmeltsoblove:

Eh, I'll take it as a win for #AlBowlly! :-P
