Dame Vera Lynn’s original recording of this 1939 wartime composition by two British men, was a favourite song played on occasions when soldiers were leaving English shores and their sweethearts and families waving goodbye.
Singing it in 1989, Englebert the Madras born British singer was his handsome best at 53. The song was unfailingly played by the big Bombay bands and sung by their female, mostly Goan crooners in the 60s and 70s and not a grand dance would go by without this number. https://youtu.be/rGltotXP0N8 Roland.
