such a marvelous little song!!!! I admit I was a little thrown off by the reversed labels!!!! but the melody seems really mild and enjoyable.. with that verry touching voice!!!!

Thank you very much, Wolfie and I'm so glad you enjoyed this song!! πŸ˜ƒ
Yes, it's a rare example for a record with reversed labels! The wonderful singer Jane Lee was a discovery for me, too!! πŸ‘ Unfortunately I found very little about her in the internet, only that she was very young back then (19 or 20 years old) and that she was on tour through Europe with the Jack Payne Orchestra immediately after the end of the war!
Have a nice Sunday evening and heartfelt greetings from Julian!! πŸ€πŸ˜‰

Thank you very much, Patrick - so glad you liked this song and recording!! The singer Jane Lee was a discovery for me, but there's very little about her in the internet! I only found out, that she was very young (19 or 20 years old), when she recorded this song. She was touring with the Jack Payne Orchestra through Europe immediately after the end of World War Two....
Have a nice Sunday evening!! πŸ€
