Just listening to the third part of the Mad About The Boy documentary on Radio 2, they've just played Sunny Afternoon and talked about Ray's songwriting, also mentioning Dedicated Follower Of Fashion. As usual, it'll be available to listen to online for a week.
Songs poured out of Noel Coward, over 400 of them. From the 1920’s to the 1960’s they filled his revues and musicals – love songs like Some Day I'll Find You or the wit of Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Now they’re overshadowed by his plays.
Pet Shop Boys’ lead singer, songwriter and composer Neil Tennant talks to fellow performers and enthusiasts about the enormous range of Coward’s work – tender love songs, yearning melodies, sharp lyrics and skilful wordplay. Coward’s own performances make the songs particularly his own, but Neil Tennant presents versions by todays’ singers and bands and meets those, like Dillie Keane of Fascinating Aida or Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, that recognise his influence on their work.
