Summary

Ray Noble, born Dec 17th, 1903, was a British big band leader responsible for composing a number of songs that have become standards. Jazz musicians have long played his tune Cherokee, with its bridge that traverses a number of far-flung key centers foreign to the tune’s home key, but he is also responsible for The Very Thought of You, I Hadn’t Anyone Till You, Goodnight Sweetheart, The Touch of Your Lips, the lesser-known Love is the Sweetest Thing, and Live Locked Out. He is also remembered as a radio and motion picture star, appearing alongside Burns and Allen and Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Jazz Evensong Schedule:https://stmichaelsbythesea.org/evensong
