To renew old memories



Another centenary today - Mr Les Brown, one of the great dance band leaders of the 30s and 40s.



Here he is, doing what he did best...


Mr Brown is perhaps most famous for launching the career of one Miss Doris Mary Kappelhoff (Doris Day). He wrote several songs for her, including this one - Sentimental Journey.

I have featured Miss Day's version several times before, so just to be perverse, I thought I'd let another house favourite here at Dolores Delargo Towers Miss Vikki Carr take the microphone with Mr Brown and his Band of Renown for a change...

Enjoy!

    Speaking of Doris Day, she's "Star of the Month" on Turner Classic Movies for April.
