Subject: RE: Do Brits remember George Formby?
To say Our George was Unsophisticated is completely untrue.
He was extremely "Worldly-wise" as his lyrics* show and his delivery and stage presence were close to perfect.
His ability could put a song across and capture his audience would put most modern singers to shame.
*with one eye and one arm gone west, she ran like the devil and she grabbed the rest.
They don't write them like that nowadays.
