Description
Robert Farnon is widely recognised as one of the finest composer/arrangers in the world, having worked with stars such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Sarah Vaughan, Bing Crosby and George Shearing, to name just a few.
This double CD features famous instrumentals, rare film soundtracks and singles with Vera Lynn, Denny Dennis, Anne Shelton, Beryl Davis and Gracie Fields. Farnon also provided the music for "Spring In Park Lane" which is still the most successful British film at the box office today.
This collection provides a nostalgic reminder of his work during the melodious days of the 1940s and 1950s. Including the light music classics "Portrait Of A Flirt" and "Jumping Bean".
