Introducing this final song from Noël Coward's play Cavalcade, first staged in Drury Lane Theatre. It's the story of a well-to-be upstairs-downstairs family during the first three decades of the 20th century and this song is heard during the grand finale, while roaring twenties' jazz & charleston dancers meet legless WW I veterans.
Covers:
Jack Payne & his Band [first recording for Columbia]
New Mayfair Dance Orch. [with Al Bowlly (His Master's Voice)]
Noël Coward [in film Twentieth Century Blues]
Marianne Faithfull [title track cd]
Elton John [on Noël Coward tribute Twentieth Century Blues]
Not to be confused with an earlier Twentieth Century Blues, a piano solo written and introduced by Vee Lawnhurst (nee: Laura Loewenherz) on Bell (1923), covered on Homocord by Stanley C. Holt in 1924.
