Reading 'oldies'
singer and songwriter
Al Bowlly's
Wikipedia page
is like reading
a fictional story
for an upcoming biopic.
Despite being born
in Mozambique
and being South African
and dying in France,
he was, in fact,
crowned as 'Britian's first
pop star.'
For example:
Al Bowlly found
considerable success
after finding his wife
with another man
on their wedding night.
He then went
on to record
over 1,000 songs
in a decade before
taking a train home
one fateful night
and sleeping during
a bombing outside
his room,
one that killed
him instantly.
You're probably familiar
with his song
in the movie Amelie,
but if you need more
of that nature, be sure
to check out his
greatest hits
on Spotify.
It'll take you back
to a black and white
decade that went down
probably before
you existed.
If you were around
in the 1930s
and you're reading this,
you're amazing.
