This is such a treasure. I wish more people could appreciate it. But I suppose it will stay magic for those of us who get it.

Al Bowlly's singing penetrates your heart and soul. A wonderful atmosphere. When Midnight, the stars and you sounds afterwards, the experience is perfect.

Unbelievable how Noble managed to make a relatively small band sound almost double its size. This record got me hooked on Noble-Bowlly when I was 15 or so.

I agree! I've found only two "live" performances and keep hoping I'll come across more. I find that I have to watch "Melancholy Baby" and "The Very Thought of You" several times a day, each time wishing there were more like them. I'll keep searching, as it could happen!

Yes, this is a magnificent arrangement, so sophisticated and rich. It is fascinating to compare it to the Lew Stone-Al Bowlly version recorded within days of this one. This version is far more dreamy - I could listen to it over and over again.

Rather late in the day - or should my opener read 'late in the night. Why? Because the orchestral version of the song was played at close down each night (yes, time was when radio and television stations were NOT broadcasting all day and through out all nights during the 20s 30s 40s and 50s ! ) Anyway, an orchestral version was played when Radio Monte Carlo closed down each night. Yes, i heard 'Close Your Eyes' whilst a school-boy on a BIG radio at home in Sandwich, Kent Now i must try and find the actual orchestral recording. Help someone HELP, please dear reader!

Though both "Close Your Eyes" and "East of the Sun" were popular hits in England, they were written by Americans. "Close Your Eyes" was penned in New York by Chicago native Bernice Petkere, and "East of the Sun" was the work of a Cleveland native, Brooks Bowman, who was a 21 year old undergraduate student when he wrote it for a 1934 Princeton Triangle Club musical.

Most of the songs that Al recorded and performed generally were written by Americans, But then many of them were born in Europe or were second generation immigrants.

@@valeriebaker9512 Al Bowlly recorded over 1,000 songs, and to do that many he did have to dig deep into the catalogue of American composers. I do know that many of those composers were indeed born in Europe or were the children of immigrants, perhaps most notably Irving Berlin (born Israel Beilin in Belarus.) But it's also true that Bowlly recorded several of Ray Noble's own songs while he was singing with that English composer's band, and that Noble spent much of his career in the US, appearing in American movies and on radio and television shows. Many Americans are surprised to learn that so quintessential a jazz standard as his "Cherokee" was actually written by an Englishman. I've been a Ray Noble fan since childhood, when I used to hear him on the Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy radio show.

terencenunn35, this is not the Carter/Tennant song although the CD I have may have credited them (I made the mistake of purchasing that music). I now have the sheet music for this song, another "Close Your Eyes" by Bernice Petkere.
