In his day he was fabulously popular and sang to capacity crowds. He appeared on the Ed Sullivan show several times with great aplomb. In the later 1950s his style of singing had to compete with the likes of Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley ,and by the early 1960s had moved into musicals such as "The Desert Song" and "Rose Marie" and recorded classic albums such as "Alone" with his wonderful semi operatic style of singing.

In his day he sang a large range of songs and was sometimes likened to the great Mario Lanza. He just loved travelling, and visited Canada and especially Australia many times. His great hits were those he recorded with Mantovani, his favorite being "When You lose the one you love". Many of his songs were written for his voice alone with well known exceptions being "I Believe" (1953) and "That's When your Heartaches Begin" (1958).

He was and is the most popular British recording artist of the 1950s with a career extending into the 60s and 70s appearing on many quiz programs on Australian television as a special guest.

I remember my September love
In my heart I keep the memory of
Lazy autumn days in all their glory
Nights that saw the start of our love story

I see once more the leaves that match her golden hair
In my dreams I find her standing there
And in December, still glows the embers
Of my September love

-----

I see once more the leaves that match her golden hair
In my dreams I find her standing there
And in December, still glows the embers
Of my September ....LOVE !!!!!!!!!

This is REAL music! I grew up with this and similar songs playing in the background. It gives me warm wonderful memories of my parents, who very sadly, I have now lost, and of course the carefree days of childhood.......in a most loving family home. I am now 54, how wonderful to be able to relive those memories!

I do miss people singing like this. Most people sound the same today,no individuality . I remember playing my parents records of David Whitfields in about 1958 on my fathers radiogram , a Hugh thing like an ocean liner !
They were happy uncomplicated days. No worries about the country being invaded by immigrants.

Keith MacMillan Happy days they were indeed! I married in March 1956 and I remember buying this (about the last ''78' gramophone record I bought) record for my late wife who's birthday was in September. From what I hear on the radio etc now there, sadly, seems to be very little in the way of 'nice' music now; nothing but screeching and swearing! Thankfully the wonders of the Internet allow us to escape the dross that's played now and relive some pleasant memories with great records like this.

With the amount of success in the Britain over the last few years of the semi-operatic and operatic tenor type of singer and singers you'd have thought the occasional oldies station would now and again play some David Whitfield. Or maybe even Classic FM which plays some very un-purely-classical (and often pretty terrible!) film themes.

The problem is all the oldies stations have their playlists compiled by computer from a few hundred tunes - hence that'd be too imaginative for them to do.

Who'd have thought that music similar to that being made by people like Mario Lanza and David Whitfield in the 1950s and kicked out of the pop charts by rock n roll would find the new audience it has in the last 10 or 20 years while guitar-based rock music is virtually dead after being marginalised by hiphop, electronic dance and pure pop the way traditional pop like this was in the mid-1950s by rock n roll.

Another one of my favourites by him.
