Self titled debut album from the now largely forgotten British vocalist Clinton Ford who specialised in trad jazz and novelty numbers. He would never trouble the charts after this one. (UK:16)
“Have only recently discovered this class act. Quite a versatile voice, he's great in this fun number.”
“Fanlight Fanny is good trad jazz number by a very good entertainer. He certainly gives this George Formby song a great treatment.”
“I have been collecting sixties music for quite some time now, but have never fully appreciated the versatility and excellence of Clinton Ford. This brings home just how talented a performer he was, and it was great to have discovered some undervalued material from the period.”
“I pride myself on being able to appreciate most types of music. Although I probably would not have bought any Clinton Ford LPs in my youth, many years later I can appreciate what an excellent singer he was.”
“Some well known songs, a mixture of pop, trad jazz, comedy, country and traditional songs.”
“Clinton Ford at his very best singing a country pop ballad with a sweet, melodic, romantic voice to thrill and please.”
