The songs reflect the times. The fourth programme in this series of eight, celebrating 80 years of British popular music, harks back to the Dance Band Days, to pay tribute to Ray Noble written by TONY STAVEACRE
One of the ' forgotten men ' in the history of pop music, his name became so identified with American bands, and musicians like Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller , that his Englishness was often overlooked. In fact, he was born in Brighton in 1907 and died, in London, in April of this year.
Between 1931 and 1937 he wrote a number of elegant ballads that provided him with an income for the rest of his days, and assured him of a place in the ' evergreen' section of the popular music catalogue - songs like ' Goodnight Sweetheart', 'The Very Thought of You', 'Love is the Sweetest Thing'. ' The Touch of Your Lips', 'Cherokee', which have since been recorded by every crooner in the business, from Al Bowlly to Englebert Humperdinck. The story of Ray Noble is told, and his songs are sung, by The Songwriters' resident company: Paul Jones , Richard Denning Peter Gale , Colin Bennett Sheila White , Marti Webb
