Alexander's Accordions--Tommy Steele--The Deep River Boys--Jack Hylton--Malcolm Vaughan--Barbara Lyon


 It amazes me when I record some of these old and worn 78's and play them back on the computer...when I remember how they sounded on my wind up Gramophone and the early record players...even some of the very old 30's & 40's 78's sound great...hardly any surface noise and clicks....of course there are exceptions and some of the recordings are a bit ropey !!...but on the whole transferring then to digital with a filter to keep the clicks at bay, sound cool !!!....so here is another load to keep all the people that do remember going into their local record shops and choosing 3 or 4 to listen to in a booth and buy what you enjoyed..

                                                        Barbara Lyon
Barbara Bebe Lyon (September 9, 1931 – July 10, 1995) was a singer of popular songs and an actress, born in the United States but primarily active in the United Kingdom.
She was born in Hollywood, California. Her parents, Ben Lyon and Bebe Daniels, were both Hollywood actors, beginning in silent films with careers extending into the 1930s. 
From 1950 to 1961 they had a radio programme on the BBC, Life With The Lyons. Ben, Bebe, Barbara, and Barbara's brother Richard all played themselves on this show.
In the 1950s, both Barbara and Richard began their own independent careers; Richard recorded one single, but primarily found his career to be as an actor, both in the UK and the US. With Barbara, the situation was reversed: she did some acting, but found more popularity as a singer.
