Re: Billy Cotton - Dinah
Many thanks to David for posting these alternative versions of Bing’s hits...
I am just old enough to remember the television incarnation of “The Billy Cotton Band Show” in the early 60s here in the UK, with the Cockney band-leader’s trade-mark yell of, “Wakey, Wake-aaaaay..!”, before the band played their theme tune, “Somebody Stole My Gal”.
David’s previous post drew attention to Gordon Macrae’s version of, “I Surrender Dear”. I love Gordon Macrae’s voice. He also made a very appealing version of, “Tumbling Tumblesweeds”...

I used to play the British Dance bands all the time when I used to exchange music with friends in England. Now they are all gone, and my collection of the British Dance bands are collecting dust. Glad you liked it!
