ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO


From almost a century ago comes what is said to be the greatest voice (as opposed to the greatest singer or artist) of them all - Enrico Caruso (1873 - 1921) singing from 1916, scratches and all, O Sole Mio. He was in San Francisco during the 1906 earthquake.

He is joined today by Charles Aznvour - Yesterday when I was young; Vera Lynn - The faithful Hussar (a favourite of mine) and Danny Kaye (Walter Mitty himself) with Life could not better be.

Enrico and crew are here.
