Made in Belgium. A big hit in England with English lyrics by E.A. Ellington and Phyllis Claire. Good Night, the label of the original, is also a trademark for cozy blankets. The record ends with a commercial message: "La musique que vous venez d'entendre est aussi douce qu'une couverture Good Night." There's a French version of Goodnight Irene on the B-side!
