Al Bowlly sings "By The Fireside" with Ray Noble and his Orchestra.

So romantic. Can the world go back to those sentiments? So beautiful.

I would never have found Al Bowlly if it weren't for YouTube.
Only discovering him now in 2019.
This is my kind of music.

The people who came of age during the jazz era are now the oldest generation. Those who remember will be gone soon. Those who still do are 105+. This song, marking an end of the Jazz age, weirdly conveys both messages. A message from the past about the beauty of a time lost. Cherish them while you still can.

A glass of whisky, cigar & this incredible song is surely a match made in heaven? 🙏

In the gloaming by the fireside
With you, I'll be content
In the gloaming by the fireside
Every hour will be well spent

We'll see our hopes and dreams, dear
Like pictures in the fire
Finding in its gleams, dear
Our heart's desire

In an armchair by the fireside
Just big enough for two
We'll be happy, oh so happy
While we do as lovers do

With no-one there to notice
A little kiss or two
In the gloaming by the fireside
With you

I am sitting by the fireside in my old-fashioned house, listening to this gorgeous song.

[grubskies]

This is the perfect song to listen to while sitting by a fire or a campfire. Amazing and relaxing. Love it

Al Bowlly was one of a kind. Especially with the aid of Ray Noble's band or Lew Stone. :-)

One of my favorite songs of his. So many to choose from... "Lazy Day", "Midnight, the Stars and You" and "Moon" all are amazing pieces!

[timefortea]

How I'd love to be sitting by a real fire, having afternoon coffee and apple crumble listening to this on a gramophone----sigh

[FluffyBaby]

Bruh why all his songs gotta be so sweet??? They're so nice to listen to. 😂😂😂

[ianbrown]

all his singing & music is great..

Another song (recorded in 1932) superbly interpreted by Al during his memorable partnership with Ray Noble.

[pianocrooner]

This is really one of his masterpieces - or A Perfect Combination Noble/Bowlly. The ensemble behind Al is wonderful, really. Muted trumpet at first, the reed section, the delicate piano playing and the clarinet at the end. One of the best of his approx 900 recordings!

[gracencole]

Darling.
I love you, even in heaven.

Al Bowlly, Russ Columbo, both fantastic artists of their time (and indeed current time) … thanks.

[Lilactime]

This gentleman with the lovely voice was contemporary with Bing Crosby. Ray Noble spent the war years in the safety of America - however Al Bowley remained in London and, sadly, during a bombing raid he was killed in his apartment.

[jamesrobertson]

Wonderful record one of my favourite songs Al bowlly is a superb singer and in my opinion the best singer of the 1930s thanks for sharing this great record.

Al Bowlly me transporta al triste pasado de la segunda guerra mundial... más cuando él en la cúspide de su vida y carrera musical, perdió la vida.
