Bowlly was born in Lourenço Marques in the Portuguese colony of Mozambique. His parents were Greek and Lebanese. They met en route to Australia and moved to South Africa.
Bowlly was brought up in Johannesburg.After a series of odd jobs across South Africa, including barber and jockey, he sang in a dance band led by Edgar Adeler on a tour of South Africa, Rhodesia, India, and Indonesia during the mid-1920s. He was fired from the band in Surabaya, Indonesia.
Jimmy Liquime hired him to sing with the band in India and Singapore In 1927 Bowlly made his first record, a cover version of "Blue Skies" by Irving Berlin that was recorded with Adeler in Berlin, Germany. During the next year, he worked in London, England, with the orchestra of Fred Elizalde.
The onset of the Great Depression in 1929 resulted in Bowlly being made redundant and returning to several months of busking to survive. In the 1930s, he signed two contracts-one in May 1931 with Roy Fox, singing in his live band for the Monseigneur Restaurant in London, the other a record contract with bandleader Ray Noble in November 1930.
During the next four years, he recorded over 500 songs. By 1933 Lew Stone had ousted Fox as bandleader, and Bowlly was singing Stone's arrangements with Stone's band. After much radio exposure and a successful British tour with Stone, Bowlly was inundated with demands for appearances and gigs-including undertaking a solo British tour-but continued to make most of his recordings with Noble. There was considerable competition between Noble and Stone for Bowlly's time. For much of the year, Bowlly spent all day in the recording studio with Noble's band, rehearsing and recording, then the evening with Stone's band at the Monseigneur. Many of these recordings with Noble were issued in the United States by Victor, which meant that by the time Noble and Bowlly came to America, their reputation had preceded them.
He performed in England with his band, the Radio City Rhythm Makers But by 1937 the band broke up when vocal problems were traced to a wart in his throat, briefly causing him to lose his voice. Separated from his wife, and with his band dissolved, he borrowed money from friends and traveled to New York City for surgery.
His absence from the UK in the early 1930s damaged his popularity with British audiences, despite his association with pianist Monia Liter as his accompanist. His career began to suffer as a result of problems with his voice, which affected the frequency of his recordings. He played a few small parts in films, but the parts were often cut and scenes that were shown were brief. Noble was offered a role in Hollywood, although the offer excluded Bowlly because a singer had already been hired. Bowlly moved back to London with his wife Marjie in January 1937.
With diminished success in Britain, he toured regional theatres and recorded as often as possible to make a living, moving from orchestra to orchestra, working with Sydney Lipton, Gerald Bright and Ken "Snakehips" Johnson. In 1940 there was a revival of interest in his career when he worked in a duo with Jimmy Messene in Radio Stars with Two Guitars on the London stage. It was his last venture before his death in April 1941. The partnership was uneasy. Messene had a drinking problem. When he showed up for work, he was occasionally unable to perform. Bowlly recorded his last song two weeks before his death. It was a duet with Messene of Irving Berlin's satirical song about Hitler, "When That Man is Dead and Gone".
I have used footage of the Ray Noble Orchestra from when they were touring Holland in 1934, from what I am aware this is the only footage of them publicly available. Footage of Al Bowlly was taken from Pathe News and later footage of Ray Noble was taken from an American TV series from 1948 called "Merry Go Round". full videos can be seen on the BRITISH PATHE channel (Thank you British Pathe)

Al Bowlly should be remembered.
Shall*
Yes he should. I will be there on the 15th and I am so sorry for the late notice. Thanks 😊
He will be remembered, have no doubt.
Is*
And with all the wonderful bands he fronted as vocalist.
Al Bowlly may be "dead" but truly he can never die
Heros are remembered but legends never die
Very true! I am interested in this opportunity and would like to know if I can be of any help or help in the future 😉 if need to get you are the best and will take the next 😉 😊 ✨ ❤ ♥ ☺ 😉 😊 ✨ ❤ for your own personal use 😉 and its
true, his music is timeless
yes

I’m in my 20s living in a third world country and I love Al Bowlly music. What a great talent he was!
✌️😀👍💓
Al Bowlly's interpretation of the song outshines even that of Frank Sinatra
I 100 % agree 👍
Compare to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons version. Very similar.
Even though I'm obsessed with Al Bowlly, Frank's version is still my favorite.
Yes -Frank is excellent - but for me -this is the definitive version
Al Bowlly, a luxory singer. He has fantastic, his voice, his enormous talent are special. He has the first crooner. Al Bowlly forever on the eternity.
Since producing Stage Door for the stage, I've become so well acquainted with Al Bowlly and the other greats of the 1930s that my favorite decade moved from the 1900s to the 1930s. This music is simply fantastic. Today an artist will sing a song with three notes with the aid of auto tune and the kids make it number one. Music has definitely gone backwards to the stone age.
I absolutely agree. The stuff they churn out is not creative or inspiring, and has become so unsophisticated, most modern danchall and night club music consists of an uncomplicated single beat and hi hat, the instruments they use are not even instruments and are not played but are typed into a sequencer. Melody's are now extinct and mono chrome speech takes its place.. However there are some musicians out there trying to lead the way 👍
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 Yeah I don't wanna discount all modern music, since some of the things now are quite good in certain respects. But the music which is most popular often has a very very simple beat and progression which can be seen from a mile away. Not to imply all music has to reinvent the wheel or have bombastic and unpredictable progression. But too many of them sound very much the same; well or at least to me they do. While music of this era did use a lot of the same styles, at least in their genres, many of them were very audibly distinct from one another. These people were very much artists in their own right.
I should never suggest that hacks didn't exist then who didn't know what they were doing and made "same-y" music, nor should I suggest that artists do not still exist. But I feel like the music landscape has changed drastically, and what becomes popular is very very different.
Ray Noble at his best and as for Al Bowlly - simply the greatest
Am 54, in Thailand, and discovered Al Bowlly two days ago. Thanks to all your comments and thanks to the formaldehyde that is youtube! Music brings the world together.
Welcome to the Bowlly train 😀💗
What a fabulous man... talented, handsome and living life his way back then..deep love for this man.. still an idol to us ..I love you al ❤
Just peerless! Al Bowlly is/was the Rolls-Royce of crooners.
Here! here!
That is music, no gimmicks just beautiful.
Still the best interpretation of this song, also listen to David Rose but this holds the title
Whenever I'm having a a bad day I play this video so I can escape my problems for just a few moments and go back when times were more simpler with Al's charming voice to help me calm down
That's what it's all about Ace 👍
👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the freshest this song has ever sounded to me! It had to be by Al Bowlly! I have heard other important titles equally old by him, but I couldn't imagine about this one. And this arrangement is truly lovely. Thanks! October 31/2020.
I agree Zoraida, I much prefer Al Bowllys version than any other., I think the Latin style which is Rhumba I think, suits the song very well. I'm also a big fan of Latin music. That's why I could never get tired of this song
It is the first time this song attracts my attention like this. I was just hearing other versions, including Sinatra's, of course. I could appreciate it more this time. I'm sure that arrangement was by Nelson Riddle and it was certainly great. Now, what Ray Noble did to our Al Bowlly's was magnificent and Rhumba goes perfect with it. And what a style to lead the orchestra! It also matches with Al's way of singing. By the way, I also heard "Easy Come, Easy Go". What a beautiful song! It's great to know that we always can get more by Al Bowlly. I wish these coming days will be peaceful for you and for the Country. November 1/2020.
Al Bowlly is singing in heaven. Joined by Ray Eberle, Cab Calloway, and Frankie Lymon. RIP
¡¡¡Bravísimo!!!
¡Divino!
¡Genial!
¡Hermoso!
¡Al, nunca morirá!
¡Grande, maestro Noble!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Love that arrangement
I love Al
Great song/singer.
Stunning man, died so young and unluckily. Horrific incident. But luckily his voice and songs are preserved forever. I love Al Bowlly so much.
No hay mejor música que está la oía de niña me gustaba tenia como 5 años nunca se me olvido
Love this style of music, very elegant. Good job Al.
Fantastic
Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼❤❤😍🌹
Cuando oigo esta canción me transporto al pasado me encanta el intérprete es bella
The orchestra delights the eustachian tube but, the voice is even better. I believe his voice activates the stars to twinkle in a northern or southern sky. In my mind his melody is ending.
Of the many versions I've heard of this song, this is tops (after Sinatra's), though a totally different version! Love Bowly's voice and energy, styling. Sweet music from a sad time.
So great. From "Born To Dance" by Cole Porter, this version by Albert Alick Bowlly
with Ray Noble Orchestra in New York 25/9/'36
I wish there were more videos of him in action. In particular with Noble's orchestra. Here he is playing guitar with the others but the action is dubbed. But I no complain! (lol)
Well done, though, you got Ray Noble keeping the correct tempo with every part of him. A rhumba, I believe. Yeay, man! Sexy or what?
'Here we go!' (And there they went)... All of them...
There is no film of bowlly singing with a band..There are several of him singing solo,and even with the Noble band in the Netherlands but the band stop playing when he sings..The nearest we have is him in a feature film singing with the fox band playing in background but not visible
Nothing has been found of Al on film after 1936 -this is not to say there isn't any -it simply has not been discovered
Bellísima interpretación y acompañamiento
Mucho se habla de la version de Frank Sinatra de esta cancion, pero sin duda la version de Al Bowlly es mucho mas sonora.
really like the latin rhythm and the strings.
Thanks for all the info on Bowlly
FANTASTICO👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Musica di alta classe
EXELENTE MUSICA GRANDIOSA ORQUESTA
One of my favorite songs

i miss al bowlly being alive and i he died 66 years before i was born
Crikey! You are nearly half a generation younger than my children. Good to see some young folk appreciating pr war music and particularly Al.
Bravo belle chanson 😇👏👏❤
He was taken from us far too soon…
I was waiting for this one!

WELL HERE WE GO, I THINK RAY WAS IN A MOVIE DOING THAT MONOLOGUE.
Yep, the movie was called "Damsel in Distress"
Una canción bellísima en su voz
Divine!
N°1 🌞❤️
Love your editing...
Great video editing
Thankyou
Es muy linda
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
You're very welcome 😄👍
Cutie pie fr fr
Awsome!!!
How handsome was he
Çok güzel💕🎶🎵
AWESOME!!!!
Tremendo
La orquesta buenosima
Al killed by the Nazis in ww2 . A great singer.
Good!!!
I can't see the conductor's eyes. Scary shit that.
😳👀🤪
Al sang this with passion, enthusiasm!! Something Bing Crosby failed to do most of the time.. I'm just saying.
You didn't just say it you nailed it!, 👈☺️👍
Esta canción en la voz de aAl Bowlly
Great video editing. Is some from Noble's US band? The clips of the British band are, to me, priceless. Ray Noble drafted the very finest of bandsman for the New Mayfair. So Al apart you see Lew Davis, Tiny Winters, Harry Berly, Nat Gonella, Monia Liter and Freddy Gardner to name some.
Thanks
I'm not sure if those others are from the resident studio band from the TV series "music go round" or Ray nobles American band
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 I think Ray's American band included Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey.
What's the first clip of Ray Noble saying "Well, Here we go"?
It's from the film Damsel in Distress 1934

Yaaay well done and thankyou 🙏
Have you considered using clips from Al bowlly’s appearances in feature films?
I've used a few clips from one of his films in "all over Italy" also got a few more clips in store that I'm using in future 👍
What is the movie you used for the clips of the conductor saying, "well here we go"?
"a Damsel in Distress" 1937
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 Thank you so much.
To put Well here we go before this track is pure genius
I'm tired of seeing dementia stuff on old songs
Same
It's a bad misconception to think that this music is only for the senile. This music will always be new to anyone younger than 90 😁👍🎼🎵🎶🎧
Excellent artist, tragic death..is this some kind of 'Mash up '..not that im complaining 😊..ahh my apologies Discription has now decided to open 😅😂.
Good job thanks
Personally I would call this sort of edit a tapestry, I wish these were mash ups then I could just get myself a potato scoop and just mix it all together in a big pot then scoop it all together no thought necessary 😄
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 ahh quite, I'm almost old enough to remember him 😆 🤣 so forgive my lack of tech savvy 😆
Well that's even better! Someone who may have touched the same ray of sunlight or caught by the same summer breeze, even touched the same apple tree or walked the same fields of grass. You could actually be worth more than the record itself. 😂👍We should hold an auction! Seriously I think you were born at an amazing time 👍
And about the link to the video of Ray Noble saying "Well, here we go!"? At 00:00 - 0:04
That's from the film "damsal in distress" 1936 if I'm right
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 You have a link? I searched and I don't find nothing, just sjort films of 1910, 1937 and 2010, and weird videos
I have the film in my personal collection
Wait a minute....
So you tell me Frank Sinatra was a fraud..,. It was not his song, beautiful job by Al bowly..
Frank sinatra grew up on this music 👍
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 I have shared this clip with all my friends, letting them know about fraud Sinatra... Lol.... I hope Al bowlly received part of royalty... Just saying..
Sinatra was not a writer
Several songs performed in later years by other singers - were first performed By Al and indeed other singers from the 1930s -I do not think Frank was a fraud - his interpretation came later and all versions are to be enjoyed - however -for my money -Al's version is the best
If you sing like that these days you will be laughed at .
If one cannot sing then one is not free. I believe Humans were made to sing🎶😍👍
Not necessarily, the popularity of Max Raabe proves it.
al bowlly is
.. Al Bowlly is...
Going to be recognised again internationally as a massive contributer to the world of popular music. This channel is here to prove to the world that another form of music did exist pre 1957 and was more popular and much more sophisticated and better for one's health (IMHO) than so called modern pop music. 😍💓
:O perdonen mi ignorancia pero pensé que la canción era escrita por Frank Sinatra
Was this the original version...?
I'm not sure but It was at least 20 years before sinatras version
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 Wait... Sinatra made that song in the 50s?!
I think so. 50s or 60s
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 Cool!
Nelson riddle stole a lot of this arrangement
The intro sounds like it's from an EATEOT track in Stage 1. If you slow it down, it sounds like something from EAEB
@Trevor Everywhere An Empty Bliss
You could associate any modern song of any genre to that EATEOT thing if it was recorded with the same recording equipment and after being worn out through over play with an old gramophone needle. Als music did not originally sound like a gramophone record, if it was recorded with todays equipment there would be no comparison to the junk that is passed off as "pop" music and the highly sophisticated compositions played live by real professional musicians of the day. I could even prove it, I will get a techno track put it through a few old sounding filters to generate an old gramophone sound and then upload the results on CZcams with a comparison of an original 78 big band which has been cleaned up and sound enhanced. See which one sounds better 😍👍
@@thegoldenageofalbowlly2759 I am not saying that 1930s music is awful. It's timeless, and I am glad it has been given newfound attention thanks to modern reappropriations of this kind of music.
Guessing that's a left-handed guitarist, because the orchestra is flopped: clarinets and flutes are backwards (or the musicians hands are).
Well done for spotting 👍
is not real song video, bad
Song not bad. You bad. Try find real video then come back and comment 🤪
