Description
In the late 1950s and early '60s, Lionel Bart dominated both the UK pop charts and the West End stage. He wrote Living Doll for Cliff Richard, Little White Bull for Tommy Steele, From Russia with Love for the James Bond film, and he created Oliver!, the most successful British musical of the twentieth century; it's eternal songs; Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, Who Will Buy? As Long As He Needs Me, now burned deep in the collective unconscious. This five cd set showcases all of Lionel's early triumphs including music from the historic productions of Oliver! which featured the young Steve Marriott - an outstanding Artful Dodger soon to be fronting Small Faces - Stanley Holloway, the English actor renowned for his comic monologues and songs, and from the original 1960 hit show Ron Moody's immortal Fagin and Georgia Brown's Nancy. Lionel embodied the Sixties, a decade in which his genius was reputed to have earned him £9 a minute. He was determined to enjoy every moment of his success and needed every penny to support a famously extravagant lifestyle. There are recordings of songs from Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'be involving Barbara Windsor, Sid James, Adam Faith and Max Bygraves; music from Blitz; the complete original score plus popular recordings of such masterpieces as Far Away, performed by Shirley Bassey.
