Ray Noble on Ray Noble

Looking for Ray Noble 1930's bandleader and songwriter?  

Ray Noble scored a lot of familiar hits of the 1930s such a  "Easy to Love" (1937), "Mad About the Boy" (1935), "Paris in the Spring" (1935). These songs last because of their great melodies and lyrics, but above all they are fantastic tunes arranged by a craftsman.I am often asked if I am related to the great man. We certainly have in common a love of music and our name. One morning in 1978 laying in my bed listening to the radio I heard that 'Ray Noble is dead!' Such a surreal announcement about my well-being made me feel like a character in a novel by Kafka. But sadly it was a report on the death of the great man aged 71. His song 'The Very Thought Of You' is a classic of popular songs covered by great artists such as Nat King Cole, Billy Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and more recently by Rod Stewart in his unique style. Several artists have had hits in the charts with this poetic song - and who hasn't experienced the nature of love expressed in the whimsical lyrics of this hit?

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

 

Other classics of Ray Noble include  'Goodnight Sweetheart' and the familiar  'love is the Sweetest Thing'.
