Una canción compouesta por Jerome Quen y Osacar Hammerstein a finales de los años 40. Anne Shelton fue una cantante inglesa muy popular en su tiempo y que participó en numerosas actuaciones ante las tropas inglesas en la Segunda guerra mundial. The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm and gay, I heard the laughter of her heart in every street cafe. The last time I saw Paris, her trees were dressed for spring, And lovers walked beneath those trees and birds found songs to sing. I dodged the same old taxicabs that I had dodged for years. The chorus of their squeaky horns was music to my ears. The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm and gay, No matter how they change her, I'll remember her that way.. + Informações

Anne Shelton - Lay down your arms Finale song. "Lipstick on Your Collar" (1993) , UK Channel 4 mini-series , Written & Produced by Dennis Potter Ewan McGregors first acting role, done 6 months from completing acting school, and he never looked back. A tale of youthful lust, against a backdrop of the 1956 Suez crisis and national service. Interspersed with some great music from the start of the Rock & Roll era, which, for some reason the cast just start singing along to. Seems silly, and it is, but it works, and adds the right touch to the storyline, reflecting all those times when you wish life was a musical. (IMDb) "I like the sort of music where "moon" don't rhyme with "June," and you're not up to your backside in bloody buttercups. Songs that aren't about your mum and dad. A bit rough. A beat that busts up the old way...the old stodge...the empire...and knowing your place, and "excuse me," and dressing up, and doing what you're told, and not once being asked! " (Private Hopper ''Ewan McGregor'') (IMDb) www.imdb.com. + Informações

MORE SINGING FROM HEAVENS SINGER !! On the much discussed and controversial birth date of anne shelton, it is of quoted as nov 1923, i cannot beleive this as she was turned down by glen miller when she wanted to go to france in december 1944, because she was not 21, which she would have been it nov 1923 was correct. Also i have read dates of 1925, 26, 27 and 1928, i cannot beleive 1928 as this would mean anne was 11 when she made her first recordings with ambrose !!!!!!!. i have read 1925 on an EMI casastte which would have made her 14 when she made her first records, this sounds more reasonable (though still alarmingly young!) I find it difficult to beleive that there are so many dates for someone famous like anne.. + Informações

Hi You Tubers, This record started out as a test recording for 78s for my Garrard SP25 MK2 record deck following refurbishment. However I have found it among my video collection in my YT file, so as it doesn't sound to bad - here it is. I love Ann Shelton with her deep sounding voice and light high notes. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia: Shelton was born Patricia Jacqueline Sibley on 10 November 1923 in Dulwich, London. She began singing at the age of 13, and by 15 had her own recording contract as a solo artist. Anne Shelton, OBE (10 November 1923 -- 31 July 1994 was a popular English vocalist, who is remembered for providing inspirational songs for soldiers both on radio broadcasts, and in person, at British military bases during the Second World War. Shelton was also the original singer in the United Kingdom of the song, "Lili Marlene". In 1990, she was awarded the OBE for her work with the 'Not Forgotten Association', a charitable organization for disabled former service personnel from all wars. Ann Shelton's Dulwich residence at 142 Court Lane was awarded a Blue Plaque by Southwark London Borough Council in 2007. Shelton was married to David Reid, a Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy in 1958. She died in Herstmonceux, England on 31 July 1994 of a heart attack, and was interred in the Brenchley Gardens Cemetery in South East London.
