A BIG YES TO I LOVE JENNIE
Thank you for bringing David back into our lives through You Tube.
A most remarkable singer with clarity, passion and force, among the Greats of the Art of song and music.
Sleep warm David, always remembered and never forgotten.

This is REAL music! I grew up with this and similar songs playing in the background. It gives me warm wonderful memories of my parents, who very sadly, I have now lost, and of course the carefree days of childhood.......in a most loving family home. I am now 54, how wonderful to be able to relive those memories!
How most wonderful were those Days when we could listen to those beautiful voices.
Every time I hear him singing I get a goose skin. Sorry my English but I am German.
I could listen to his love songs all Day long. Thanks.
With the amount of success in the Britain over the last few years of the semi-operatic and operatic tenor type of singer and singers you'd have thought the occasional oldies station would now and again play some David Whitfield. Or maybe even Classic FM which plays some very un-purely-classical (and often pretty terrible!) film themes.
The problem is all the oldies stations have their playlists compiled by computer from a few hundred tunes - hence that'd be too imaginative for them to do.
Who'd have thought that music similar to that being made by people like Mario Lanza and David Whitfield in the 1950s and kicked out of the pop charts by rock n roll would find the new audience it has in the last 10 or 20 years while guitar-based rock music is virtually dead after being marginalised by hiphop, electronic dance and pure pop the way traditional pop like this was in the mid-1950s by rock n roll.
Another one of my favourites by him.
I remember my September love
In my heart I keep the memory of
Lazy autumn days in all their glory
Nights that saw the start of our love story
I see once more the leaves that match her golden hair
In my dreams I find her standing there
And in December, still glows the embers
Of my September love
-----
I see once more the leaves that match her golden hair
In my dreams I find her standing there
And in December, still glows the embers
Of my September ....LOVE !!!!!!!!!

I do miss people singing like this. Most people sound the same today,no individuality . I remember playing my parents records of David Whitfields in about 1958 on my fathers radiogram , a Hugh thing like an ocean liner !
They were happy uncomplicated days. No worries about the country being invaded by immigrants.
