Children - Mojo's Musical Mouseum: Complete Song Lists MUSIC FACTORY CDMusic Hall Performers - "The heyday of the British Music Hall was from the 1890s up to the second World War. It was the most popular form of entertainment for ordinary people, at least until sound films began in the late 1920s. Most of the leading music hall performers made gramophone records, and I am making a small selection of recordings available as mp3 and RealAudio files." Sounds of the Music Hall - "Does it go without saying that the music of the British (and, to a lesser extent, the Australian) music hall is burning up no Top 40 charts on either side of the Atlantic? Yes, it does. Nearly. Which is not to say that the songs made famous by music hall luminaries have vanished along with the memories of those patrons now in their dotage."

Shirley Temple song lyrics War Music - Although First World War poets [Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon] are often presented as the literature of wartime, popular songs were important in keeping up morale. Those from World War II have become especially well known. Some songs were overtly nationalistic, such as There'll Always Be An England. Other music was popular because it evoked emotional states common in wartime, for instance a sense of nostalgic sadness and loss. Perhaps the most famouse such song was Lili Marlene, uniquely famous as a hit both for German and Allied armies. In Britain, without any question, the most popular vocalist of World War II was Vera Lynn, "the forces' sweetheart". She sang virtually every well-known wartime song in her concerts (including Lili Marlene and There'll Always Be An England), but her best know songs were White Cliffs of Dover and We'll Meet Again.

Harry Warren Oh, you railway station Home in Pasadena Harry Warren Music.com One such composer who deserved that kind of attention was Harry Warren (1893-1981). Numbers vary from source to source (most sources say 311 or 350), but my records show that he wrote more than 400 songs for close to 90 different movies from 1928 through 1981. Of those, 42 songs written between 1935 through 1950 placed in the top ten on the popular radio program, Your Hit Parade. His nearest competitor, the famous Irving Berlin, had only 33.

Betty Clooney Rosemary Clooney got all the accolades, but she had a little sister who tried to follow in her footsteps. An ex-flame of Bing Crosby's son Gary (read all about it in Gary Crosby's engaging tell-all autobiography, "Going My Own Way,") Betty Clooney blazed her own career in the early fifties with performances like this at the now defunct Waldorf Astoria in NYC.
