Forgotten songs 12
b"
It's an odd but energetic start with Alma Cogan, the girl with a giggle in her voice. Here she sings about Lizzie Borden, the girl with an axe in her hand! Lena Horne, when she was still a big band vocalist, Connie Boswell and Barbara Lyon. She was the daughter of Ben Lyon and Bebe Daniels, the US stars who made it big in Britain. Paula Green and her Orchestra. Paula sang with Joe Loss and Glenn Miller and was born in blackpool, Lancashire. Also appeared on the WW2 show ITMA. French star Jean Sablon, you get variety here. Talking of which: Bob Hamilton Trio, 'Dinner music for hungry canibals' and Hobo Jack- real name Ernie Hare. He wasn't a hobo but a very well paid radio star. The amazing voices of Paul Robeson and Josh White. Two men who weren't just fine singers but activists.There's more of course.
