    Hello confetta! I really would like to thank you for sharing all of Al Bowlly this way. A big thank you! But I'm also wondering if you know where one might buy the movie "The Mayor's nest" which he starred in? Can't find it anywhere! So I would be very thankful if you'd have any suggestions. Thaks again for opening an entirely new world to me. Cheerio.

    I have just discovered Al Bowlly and found this lens while searching google for some of his recordings. It was great to read about his life and see the photos but what a tragic end he had. Poor man! Thanks for a great lens.

    Al was my Dad's favourite singer - he used to go and listen to him in the West End .
    Al certainly had a distinctive voice and style , he was superb with ballads , but could swing as well - take "You Ought to See Sally" and the two tracks he recorded with Ken "Snakehips" Johnson as good examples . His version of "Bei Mir Bist Du Schein" (Ihope that I've spelt it correctly!) is outstanding .
    We will never know Al's full potential , sadly - we can only guess at it .
    His tragic death just semmed to have epitomised his life .

    Hey Confetta
    The reason why I like your biography is because it's short and snappy. You get to the point without missing the big ideas.

    That was a great lens. The story of his death was very shocking. Al Bowlly was the man!
