DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED AN INVOICE FROM ME WITH MY PERSONAL NOTE!
- Titles are ‘Oklahoma - The Cowboy's Wedding' b/w 'I Can't Help Being A Lovesick Coon' - In his early years Dublin-born tenor Tom E. Finglass often performed in blackface, and was sometimes billed as “The Ideal Coon.” Music Hall historian S. Theodore Felstead even goes so far as to suggest that he was as good as the immortal American blackface Music Hall star Eugene Stratton1 — indeed, Finglass played Stratton in two films, “You Will Remember”, the 1941 film of the life of Leslie Stuart; and “Variety Jubilee” (1943). Finglass plays an important role in the Fred Godfrey story, as the two of them teamed up in 1930 to create a Variety act featuring Godfrey’s hit songs. The act is believed to have been billed as “Fred Godfrey In Person, Author Of...” with Finglass handling the singing while Godfrey played the piano. Reportedly, the audience singalongs would bring the house down, and they would end with Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty, light a “fag,” and walk offstage. The act “topped the bill” in many provincial halls — Godfrey’s daughter Peggie recalled catching it in Glasgow and in Bolton, where Godfrey and Finglass shared the top of the bill with Shaun Glenville. They also appeared at the Theatre Royal, Dublin...........................thanks to http://www.fredgodfreysongs.ca/Artists/finglass_tom.htm
