Tell Them Radio Info : Albert Allick Bowlly 1898– 1941 was a Southern-African singer, songwriter, composer and band leader, who became a popular Jazz crooner during the 1930s in the United Kingdom and later, in the United States. He recorded more than 1,000 records between 1927 and 1941.
His most popular songs include "Goodnight, Sweetheart", "The Very Thought of You", "Guilty", and "Love Is the Sweetest Thing".
On 17 April 1941, Bowlly had just given a performance at the Rex Cinema in Oxford Street, High Wycombe, now demolished.
Offered the opportunity of an overnight stay in the town, Bowlly opted to take the last train home to his flat at 32 Duke Street, Dukes Court, St James, London.
His decision proved to be fatal, as he was killed by a Luftwaffe parachute mine which detonated outside his flat later that evening. His body appeared unmarked: although the massive explosion had not disfigured him,
it had blown his bedroom door off its hinges and the impact against his head proved fatal.
He was buried with other bombing victims in a mass grave at the Hanwell Cemetery(originally City of Westminster Cemetery),Uxbridge Road,Hanwell, London, where his name is spelled Albert Alex Bowlly

LATEST TRIP COMMENT:
Hi Charles
Just a quick note to say a very big THANK YOU for all your help in making our band trip such a huge success. It would not have been half or even a quarter as good, enjoyable or informative without your commentry and input. We packed so much in that it seemed much more than a long weekend. Sadly it's over but we all have many lasting, wonderful memories. Many many thanks. It certainly would not have been anywhere near as good without you.
