George Formby


Originals

Covers

  • Cover of LEANING ON A LAMP POST in 1937 - in same film; Formby plays the clumsy studio guy who dropped the original Val Rosing recording, forcing him to cut his own version; all four Beatles were Formby fans; the banjo outro of Free As A Bird (see there) sounds a lot like the one in Leaning On A Lamp Post
  • Cover of SOME OF THESE DAYS in 1939
  • Cover of HAPPY-GO-LUCKY-ME in 1960 - his last top 40 hit UK
