Dear Friends Whilst working at Radio Seychelles 3 years ago,I e mailed 5 Dutch collectors if they knew who could supply me with Louis Davids recordings-have you ever featured him and I hear he recorded at Abbey Road in 1934. I got no answer which was strange to say the least as collectors are normally generous with their help and informational-networkin,myself included.All my vintage jazz mp3 discs streamed at the station 11 hours each disc are free to friends and those interested alike. I have 1 Louis Davids 10 inch l.p. from c.1956 and think his recordings marvellous. Denham Ford,ex-Chairman of the Beecham Society,British Branch once said that what we lack today is variety entertainment of a high quality and how right he was.Louis Davids fitted the bill quite appropriately regarding this shrewed observation.He must have been marvellous in cabaret and is one of the most -neglected great popular recording artists in the whole history of sound and Dutch through and through.
