Music hall star Dick Henderson trills out a resounding ode to his beloved in this early sound recording, stopping to aim some rather less romantic jibes at his wife before delivering a rousing encore. Henderson's trademark breakneck banter, delivered in a strong Hull accent, made him a very popular comedian and character actor (he was a regular star of panto). His son, Dickie, enjoyed even greater popularity, hosting his own show in the 1950s and enjoying a hugely successful partnership with Bob Monkhouse.
