Billy Penrose (1925–1962, Brighton) was an English jazz musician who played piano, and trumpet. He formed his own quartet which played boogie-woogie music.
Billy played with a number of bands as well as forming his own quartet. It was while he was the pianist for the Lou Preager Orchestra that he formed his own quartet with Paul Rich (guitarist) and the bass player and drummer from the orchestra. They recorded six songs which were released on three records:
Boogie In The Groove b/w Lazy Boogie recorded March 1945, released May 1945
Boogie In Black And White b/w Billy's Boogie recorded June 1945, released September 1945
Harlem Boogie b/w Boogie In The Ballroom recorded March 1945, released October 1946
Benny Lee (11 August 1916 – 9 December 1995) was a Scottish comedy actor and singer. He started his career in stage roles, and developed a television and film career....In 1941, Lee was heard singing by Johnny Claes, a trumpeter who had recently formed a swinging dance-band called the "Claepigeons". He liked the sound of Lee's voice and signed him on as a vocalist. Soon Lee was singing and recording with many bands of the day, including that of Sid Phillips.
Lee became sufficiently popular for him to be featured as a solo singer, rather than only fronting a band. As a crooner, he performed in over 2,000 broadcasts.....The Decca company came in with a contract and from 1950 he recorded such hits of the time as "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)", and "Down at the Ferry Boat Inn" with the Stargazers. Every type of pop song seemed to suit Lee, and he covered Guy Mitchell's no 1, "Pretty Little Black-Eyed Susan", and the Hank Williams hillbilly hit, "Your Cheatin' Heart".
