Forgotten Songs 11
b"
Rock Island Line the song that originated in the USA and came over to UK to be sung by Lonnie Donegan. We have a 45rpm sneaking in.\\xa0 A local song, not even Edinburgh its Leith and from the 1980s, its certainly forgotten and its a mystery artist- J Sutcliffe. Wingy Manone and Mugsy Spanier. Great names, great tracks. Two from Eartha and one from Patti Page. On a bit of a toe curling note, Matty O'Neil sings ' Don't sell daddy anymore whiskey.' A baby cries all the way through it! 'Just wee deoch an' doris,' in Scots and celebrating the more cheery side of a wee dram. That's from 1912.\\xa0 Sugar Chile Robinson. A child star that sang to two US presidents, 70 years apart. There's more of course.
