This L/P features an "English" character actor and singer who started his career in the 50's and is still with us !! on the way he's collected an OBE !...Gud on you Lad !!!...so here's a slice of "British" humour !!!!
In 1962 he released three comic songs. "The Hole in the Ground" was about an annoyed workman who eventually buries a harasser. "Right Said Fred" was about three workmen who struggle to move an unspecified heavy and awkward object into or out of a building. Both these songs were produced by George Martin for Parlophone, with music by Ted Dicks and lyrics by Myles Rudge. "Hole in the Ground" and "Right Said Fred" both reached the top ten in the UK Singles Chart His third and final single was "Gossip Calypso", which was another top 30 hit.

ReplyDeleteHi D...here is the Re-Post you requested enjoy it Cheers...

espo, thanks so much. I just joined this amazing site. I found you because I was trying to put together a discography of the band Right Said Fred. That led to how they got their name and it mentioned, from a song by Bernard Cribbins! And here he was on your site. I also listen to oldies from the 50s 60s, so finding you was a treasure. All the best and thanks,

Besides a pile of British comedies I especially remember him as the character of Gertrude Stein in the Sweedish absurd movie "The Adventures of Picasso"
