13. JUKE BOX SATURDAY NIGHT - Glenn Miller (mentions Ink Spots, Harry James, etc.)

You really had it good if you were living in England in the late 1950s & early 60s with singers entertaining there.....
Names like Dickie Valentine, Matt, and Al Martino.....

Connected with the above, name 13 of Al Martino's songs that he recorded after 1954 while living in England or outside the USA.
Many of his vocals had the musical backing of Johnny Douglas.... This should be an easy one for L & H..........

i can well remember singers like Dickie Valentine,Vince Hill, Matt Monro, Bobby Darin--and listened to them a lot, but it is only more recently that I have really come to appreciate these singers
