I have been told Clinton knicked stuff of George Formby! so I have now got to chase this up. If anyone has any recommended sites for George Formby I would very much appreciate any info. Murray, that is one of my favourite songs of Clintons aswell. Mustapha also ranks as one of my favourites! Thanks guys all the info is much appreciated. Pete. |

01 Nov 02 - 11:42 AM (#816107) Subject: RE: clinton ford songs From: Joan from Wigan You probably know this, but Clinton Ford also recorded under the name Ali Ben Dhown - 2 tracks, 'Mustapha' and 'Turkish Delight' appear on the Petal Pushers LP (Chess, 1967), which I think was only released in the US. I also remember him singing 'Buffalo Gals' and 'Sally In Our Alley'. Joan |
