Thread Name: Do Brits remember George Formby?
Subject: RE: Do Brits remember George Formby?
Really enjoyed the Frank Skinner prog. It was so sad to hear George Formby senior on an old recording, trying to sing but coughing badly. He was dying of TB, and only lived to 42, I believe. George Formby jun was brought up in a luxurious home, his parents were quite well-off.
