Remembered? He has been, thanks to KZbin, right here.

[@petertaylor3600]

That's fame for you. Today a rooster, tomorrow a feather duster. But, vocalists like this, from that era became forgotten as styles in pop music changed. Thanks to KZbin and people out there finding these treasures, they can be revived as a new lot hears them. I remember him on the radio when I was knee high, and he was just a band singer to people then. It's now and with this gen., that he's properly appreciated. Wish he knew...

[@coloringmemories8974]

@@petertaylor3600 Sinatra is remembered, if we think under your logic, he shouldn't be. Al Bowlly is much superior to Sinatra in singing, his phrasing and breathing management is fascinating, better than Sinatra, I think it is quite obvious as mentioned above. It is a pity that Al Bowlly is remembered by a few thousand and not by a few million. His voice will continue in our hearts, but not in history, despite having invented the crooner song and having had such talent.

[@petertaylor3600]

@@coloringmemories8974 How you arrived at that interpretation of my comment is your business and your logic, I suppose. For the record, I prefer Bowlly by a mile over Sinatra but, not being an expert, I only go by what they tell me and they tell me, Sinatra had superb skill. They are two individuals with each unique. That, 'Isaac Whoever you are, is my logic and I'm happy with it.

His life, as lived during the 30s, before his death, was happy by the look of it. Had a couple of wives, one divorce. When he died it would have been so sudden he wouldn't have known what happened. But buried in a communal grave along with others killed in the same raid, which is sad. But, Al, why were you out and about in an air raid when you should have been down in a shelter? I know, you were going home, but I don't understand why the Air Raid Warden didn't chase you off the street!!

People would even climb up on roofs to watch, including Churchill himself. It was said by folks at the time that the chances that you yourself were going to die in a particular bombing raid were very low but the chances that someone would die were near 100%.

[@petertaylor3600]

@@brucekuehn4031 That's right. He'd taken public transport (a bus?) home after a gig in the middle of the air raid ,thinking nothing could touch him. He'd had a few near misses and survived so he was a bit over confident. Big mistake. He'd gone to bed and the concussion from the parachute bomb outside his apartment blew the door off its hinges. He was found having died while asleep, I guess. But no, not walking because you wouldn't in an air raid surely.

[@mnd1955]

Back in 1971, I was reading Len Deighton's novel 'Bomber' in which Al Bowlly is mentioned. I asked my father about him and he promptly brought out a number of old 78s and began playing them. It's really nice to see the man himself. What a golden voice he had.

[@rogerhudson9732]

Does Deighton refer to what a one ton German parachute mine did ? RIP Al Bowlly. My great uncle's restaurant in Streatham ( right by the station) was destroyed by one in the Blitz, destroyed half the street.

[@mnd1955]

As I recall, Deighton writes about one of Bowlly's songs 'Easy Come, Easy Go', but doesn't mention his death. However, I stand to be corrected on that. My mum told me of the night in 1941 when the Luftwaffe dropped a 'land mine' on a street in Broadheath, Manchester. It shook her house, which was a mile or so away, and caused immense damage.
