One of the best ever Ma Mills While serving in Britain I would make appoint to go whoever she was performing I still listen to her records at 88yrs it calms the nerves

[@IVORIESMAN]

Glad will always have a place with me too. Thanks for listening John.

I will always associate dear Glad with some of the happiest times of my childhood, singing along to her LP's with my Grandmother. Mrs Mills will always have a special place in my heart.

[@IVORIESMAN]

I can identify with that sentiment entirely Anthony. My Grandparents were also responsible for my introduction to Mrs.Mills when I was very young - the piano featuring heavily in the family. Thanks for the great comment.

[@IVORIESMAN]

...thanks Brian, a great sentiment.

[@OldiesAl]

It could only be Glad, love the simple backing from Mr Love and what a great choice of tunes

[@IVORIESMAN]

The whole LP is like this Al, carefully compiled by Norman Newell to compliment Glad's style.

[@debbiebrett6689]

Hi, Oldies Al! I absolutely love this music! It reminds me of my father and my uncle, who played in a similar style ....and I try to emulate it as well!

[@TheBroadcastStudio365]

WONDERFUL!

[@syhooverman4692]

Great music from the "Mighty Glad" and on a wonderfully good Hacker too. Great post, Thanks.

[@IVORIESMAN]

syhooverman...very welcome. Many thanks for the kind words, happy listening.

[@johnrussell8749]

Beautiful

[@raytaylor9475]

Brilliantly played

[@IVORIESMAN]

Thanks for listening Ray, glad you enjoyed.

[@chrisdavies5912]

This is the style of her playing I prefer. Nice. Her version of 'I'm In The Mood For Love' is also a beauty. 😍

[@IVORIESMAN]

…I’ve always thought of our Glad as having two distinctive styles - this LP demonstrates her reserved approach showing her superb arrangement abilities with trademark subtle chord formations and timing, and her ‘full throttle’ style can be heard in the ‘Chicago etc’ medley I uploaded a while back, equally impressive.

[@shiralleehaggart72]

Love this tune. I don't think I have this version by Winifred Atwell though also like the record player you played this on.

[@IVORIESMAN]

...Winnie also recorded party medleys but in her own style. - as for the player, these Hackers were known as the 'Rolls Royce of Record Players' back in the day.

[@bigdude1234]

left a like my friend

[@IVORIESMAN]

Many thanks BD...:-)

[@MarcusTomatos]

Yes, all very Charlie Kunz!

[@IVORIESMAN]

MarcusTomatos Hi Mark. Yes I reckon our Glad would be right chuffed to be likened to one of her idols.

[@stewartgellatly8073]

They don't compose, arrange, sing or play them like this anymore. Great melodies are like great paintings, if you do not preserve them, you lose them. Were it not for the wonder of KZbin and the diligence of Uploaders, we who are of an age to remember the tunes of yesteryear and know what to look for, would have virtually no music at all.

[@IVORIESMAN]

Great comment Stewart - never a truer word…👍

[@ronaldstockton3825]

What a great sounding suit case phono. Who makes Hacker?

[@IVORIESMAN]

Hi Ronald - Hacker was a British electrical company formed in 1959 by the brothers Hacker which ran successfully until 1977. Their aim was to produce high end equipment despite a high price tag. Consequently this and other Hacker models were considered to be amongst the best in the business. Today Hacker equipment is still regarded by enthusiasts as superior in build quality and performance.

[@ronaldstockton3825]

@@IVORIESMAN THANKS How old is that one? Ironic that hacker has a completely different connotation.

[@IVORIESMAN]

@@ronaldstockton3825 ...haha yes I've heard that comment on more than one occasion recently. This model (GP42 Gondolier) dates from around 1965.
