I - Manning Sherwin
Geraldo and his Orchestra with Dorothy Carless, Len Camber, Jackie Hunter, and George Evans
A programme of music by Manning Sherwin including some of his biggest successes and some lesser-known works by this popular 'tunesmith'
Presented by Douglas Lawrence
The tunesmith to be featured in this first broadcast of a new series is . the popular composer of 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'. Incidentally, Manning Sherwin, an American who came to this country in the summer of 1938, lives just off Berkeley Square, where no doubt he got his inspiration.
One of his more recent outstanding successes was 'I've got you where I want you', which was heard at the Saville in Up and Doing since the war. He composed several numbers for Magyar Melody and Binnie Hale , one of the happiest of them being 'Music for Romance'.
