Will Fyffe - I'm 94 Today

Will Fyffe (16 February 1885 - 14 December 1947) was a major star of the 1930s and 1940s, a star of stage, screen and vinyl.
Fyffe made his debut in his father's stock company at the age of six. He travelled extensively throughout Scotland and the rest of the UK, playing the numerous music halls of the time, where he performed his sketches and sang his songs in his own inimitable style. During the '30s, he was one of the highest paid musical hall artistes in Britain.
In addition, Fyffe appeared in 23 major films of the era (American and British), sometimes starring, and recorded over 30 songs, witty masterpieces enveloped in an engaging melody and delivered with his own unique style.
His singer-songwriter skills are still well known to us today and whereas the memory of his contemporaries may continue to fade, Will has become immortalised for his rendition of his own composition, "I Belong To Glasgow".[1]. This song, which has been covered by the likes of Danny Kaye, Eartha Kitt, Gracie Fields and Kirk Douglas, is still as fresh today as it was then, and is as memorable for its lyrics as it is for its melody.

Your grandfathers grave is next to my parents

[@TheFrozenwaterman]

@@arthursteven5601 Wow! I hope he's kept them entertained ...

[@arthursteven5601]

@@TheFrozenwaterman mr.hall have you ever had chance to visit his grave in glasgow

[@TheFrozenwaterman]

@@arthursteven5601 no unfortunately I haven't. My Mum moved to Canada in the 70's and my Grandma (Will Fyffes daughter) lived in the south of England by the time I was born so any trips over that way were always to England. I actually live in Japan now and Sadly my mother and grandmother have both passed away but after this Covid virus is over I'll definitely be taking a trip to Scotland to see St. Andrews and Glasgow, Edinburgh and the fat north to visit friends.
