it had to be you,
it had to be you,
i wandered around,
and finally found,
the somebody who,
could make me be true,
could make me be blue,
and even be glad,
just to be sad,
thinkin' of you,

some others I've seen
might never be mean
might never be cross,
or try to be boss
but they wouldn't do

for nobody else gave me a thrill
with all your faults, I love you still
it had to be you
wonderful you
it had to be you

This guy had a cool name

Another one of my favorite singers. British Dance Band is so comfy.

Have you got any recommendations? I'm British as well which makes me ashamed that all I know is Al and that's from films like The Shining.

Sam Browne was another prolific vocalist who sang on hundreds of records. Not as good as Al Bowlly but I like his voice.

This is also a good list of singles worth listening to:

Nemo’s Dreamscapes is a YouTube channel that streams this kind of music. I use it to fall asleep sometimes.
