Billy Weeks	Looking for 'Dark Girl Dressed In Blue' (38)	RE: Looking for 'Dark Girl Dressed In Blue'	19 Mar 08
The Stanley Holloway version was recorded in 1959 for Decca and issued on a 45rpm disc. It is a magnificent performance and I can confirm that the song was,indeed the Harry Clifton number. The original sheet music, published by B Williams in 1862 has a lithographed front with one of the finest representations of Clifton 'in character', with the cunning dark girl who conned him out of his money and nearly got him nicked for handling counterfeit notes (bills) at the Great Exhibition of '62. I'm sure this has all been covered in detail in another thread, but I don't see it listed above.
