Al Bowlly - Dark Eyes (Black Eyes) 1939 Adalgiso Ferraris - Albert Mellor (Only English Version)
May 11, 1939 Backed By An Unknown Studio Orchestra
Albert Allick “Al“ Bowlly (7 January 1898 -- 17 April 1941) was a popular Jazz guitarist, singer, and crooner in the United Kingdom and later in the United States of America during the 1930s, making more than 1,000 recordings between 1927 and evening of his death on 17 April 1941, Bowlly and Messene had just given a performance at the Rex Cinema in High Wycombe. Both were offered the opportunity of an overnight stay in the town, but Bowlly opted to take the last train home to his flat in Jermyn Street, London instead. Bowlly’s decision proved to be fatal; he was killed by a Luftwaffe parachute mine which detonated outside his flat later that evening. Bowlly’s body appeared unmarked: although the massive explosion had not disfigured him, it had blown his bedroom door off its hinges and the impact against his head proved fatal. Bowlly was buried with other bombing victims in a mass grave at the City of Westminster Cemetery, Uxbridge Road, Hanwell, London, where his name is spelled Albert Alex Bowlly.
His most popular songs include “Midnight, the Stars and You“, “Goodnight, Sweetheart“, “Close Your Eyes (Bernice Petkere song)“, “The Very Thought of You“, “Guilty“, “Love Is the Sweetest Thing“ and the only English version of “Dark Eyes“ by Adalgiso Ferraris as “Black Eyes“ with words of Albert Mellor.
