Records of Les Alien, the popular Canadian radio and Variety singer
Les Allen, among the most popular and handsome of singers, won international fame with the BBC Dance Orchestra under Henry Hall and had to sign autographs like a film star. He was born in London, but his parents took him to Toronto when he was two. He returned to England in 1923, appearing with the Toronto Band at a London restaurant. Until 1932, when he joined the BBC Dance Orchestra, he toured the music-halls with Alfredo's Band.
