I'd Love To See You Home Tonight.mp3


Decca F8915

Recorded March 16th 1948 with the Bob Farnon Orchestra. This is a lovely romantic ballad from Denny in the smooth Sinatra influenced style of the period. It shows just what a talent Denny was. A slightly cleaned up version here from a prized old 78rpm that was released in the States. A fully restored version now appears on the new Sepia Cd - 'The Bluest Kind Of Blues'.

Recorded in March 1958 with orchestra directed by Ken Jones, this was one of Denny's last recordings. It's a serious effort to compete with Perry Como, with whom Denny had previously crossed vocals on ‘Chi Baba, Chi Baba’ in 1947. A very nice version here from Denny. Taken from a much played 78 rpm record.


Denny made many hundreds of commercial recordings during his career, plus numerous commercial broadcasts, some of which have come to light and been re-issued. This site can only offer but  a few of Denny’s recordings. I will alternate them as regularly as I can.


Where possible I have tried to avoid duplicating any of the recordings currently available from the record companies who have provided CD’s dedicated to Denny’s recordings. These companies deserve our support. Check the Available Recordings page for more information.


The recordings on this page are all taken from my own 78 rpm records. I have cleaned them up a little with software. They sound wonderful compared to the original condition of some of the 78’s they are taken from. I would state that I am not a record restorer and they are not restorations. For anyone interested, I used the de-noise and click repair software designed by Brian Davies.  http://www.clickrepair.net/     All files are mp3  - 160 kbps


The recordings are all in the public domain and I make them freely available to all those interested. Please do not use them for any commercial purpose.


Simply, enjoy the recordings. Right click to download. Click to play.

From Me To You.mp3

Another smooth Romantic classic from Denny with the Bob

Farnon orchestra. Recorded in the period before Denny

moved to the States to join the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.

South Of The Border.mp3   -    Ambrose and his Orchestra


Recorded  8th June 1939          Decca F7076


This is the recording that set Denny on his way to a solo career and also to America. It’s a lovely performance by Denny and the record is made very much his own. Sadly, despite interest from American bands, the war prevented Denny from going to the States. Instead, he was to serve five and a half years in the RAF.
