1953 - _Paris-Barcelone_ (Paso doble) - André Verchuren (musique) - André Verchuren et son ensemble André* Edmond Verschuere, dit *André Verchuren,* né le 28 décembre 1920 à Neuilly-sous-Clermont, dans l'Oise, et mort le 10 juillet 2013 à Chantilly, est un accordéoniste français. En 1936, à l'âge de 16 ans, il remporte le concours international d'accordéon de Soignies, en jouant l'ouverture des Saltimbanques debout, contre les codes de l'époque. Il est l’accordéoniste ayant vendu le plus de disques, avec plus de 70 millions d'unités vendues. Origines familiales André Verchuren est né Belge, issu d'une famille originaire de Knesselare en Belgique ; son grand-père est Petrus Verschuere (1865-1909), accordéoniste et vendeur de bijoux, venu travailler dans les mines. Ce dernier est venu en France avec sa femme et ses enfants dont Raymond Verschuere, père d'André Verchuren. Petrus s'installe ensuite dans le Pas-de-Calais à Pont-à-Vendin. Raymond Verschuere, accordéoniste professionnel (1894-1975), est venu à Neuilly-sous-Clermont pour rendre visite à un oncle, et il fit la connaissance de Marie-Clémence Massez, couturière (1899-1993), originaire d'Ully-Saint-Georges, ancien village rattaché à la commune de Rantigny. Il se fixe alors dans la région et se marie avec cette dernière. Ils donnent naissance à un fils, André. Premier cachet Le jeune André commence l'accordéon à 4 ans en suivant les cours de son père, Raymond. Il touche son premier cachet à 6 ans en animant un bal à Ponchon, accompagné de sa mère, Marie-Clémence, à la batterie. Ensuite, il dispense des cours dans l'école d'accordéon de son père. Il est embauché dans une usine de tréfilage, devient garçon de café et jardinier. Concours de Soignies En 1936, à 16 ans, il remporte le concours international d'accordéon de Soignies, en jouant l'ouverture des Saltimbanques debout, contre les codes de l'époque. La coupe est remise des mains du roi Léopold III de Belgique. Cette compétition serait considérée comme un championnat du monde par certains mais la première Coupe du monde est disputée le 11 juin 1938 au Moulin de la Galette à Paris et dont le vainqueur est Freddy Balta. Seconde Guerre mondiale Alors qu'il peut opter pour la nationalité française, le 3 janvier 1940, il décline cette nationalité. Il ne va être naturalisé français que le 5 avril 1957. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, André Verchuren entre dans la Résistance en aidant des aviateurs alliés, abattus au-dessus de sa région, à se cacher. En juin 1944, il est dénoncé, arrêté par la Gestapo, torturé et envoyé au camp de Dachau le 2 juillet 1944. Durant sa période de détention à Dachau. Le 14 juillet 1944, il provoque les SS en faisant, au péril de sa vie, chanter _La Marseillaise_ à tous ses camarades détenus du Block dans lequel il se trouve. Le 24 juillet, il est transféré à Neckarelz, camp annexe du KL Natzweiler. C'est un déporté résistant. À la sortie des camps, il lui faut plusieurs années pour que ses doigts retrouvent leur agilité. Il reçoit le diplôme de reconnaissance des États-Unis envoyé par le président Dwight D. Eisenhower, pour l'aide qu'il a apportée aux aviateurs alliés. Carrière artistique À partir de 1950, Verchuren voit sa carrière prendre forme à la suite de sa participation à l'émission populaire de Radio Luxembourg _Swing contre musette_ (il a été inscrit à l'émission par son collègue Tony Murena). Il habite en 1951, au 45 rue Boursier à Creil, et cette année-là, il fait une demande à la Sacem pour être inscrit comme compositeur. Il en devient membre définitif le 16 décembre 1951 et il change à cette occasion provisoirement son patronyme pour Verschueren puis définitivement pour Verchuren. Sélectionné pour un match organisé sur la scène du Moulin-Rouge auquel assistent en direct dix millions d'auditeurs, il emporte les suffrages. Grâce à Louis Merlin qui était présent dans la salle, il entre chez Decca, sa première maison de disques, avant d'intégrer la maison Festival. En 1956, il est le premier accordéoniste à se produire à l'Olympia à Paris pendant trois semaines. Le succès populaire est immédiat. Parallèlement à ses émissions à la radio (dix-sept ans sur RTL, puis treize sur Europe 1), « Verchu » va à la rencontre de ses auditeurs. Il sillonne la France entière, donnant, en moyenne, cent cinquante galas par an. Il affirmait : « Les bals, la musique, la route : autant de drogues pour moi1. » Il a inventé la formule du « bal-music-hall ». En 1968, André Verchuren publie ses mémoires sous le titre _Mon accordéon et moi._ Il a joué lors du plus grand bal de France devant 125 000 spectateurs10. Le 3 janvier 2007, il fête ses quatre-vingts ans de carrière lors d'un concert à l'Elispace de Beauvais. Il a vendu plus de 70 millions d'albums1, enregistré durant sa carrière 777 albums tous supports confondus (deux par semaine). En 1992, il affirme avoir parcouru 7 millions de km en voiture, un million en avion. Il a participé à plus de dix mille galas devant 40 millions de spectateurs. Fin de vie et sépulture Il habite rue du Parc-Maillet à Creil pour ensuite vivre une retraite tranquille dans sa demeure de Gouvieux, et meurt le 10 juillet 2013 à l'âge de 92 ans d'un arrêt cardiaque alors qu'il dînait dans la pizzeria Le Napoli, à Chantilly (Oise). Ses obsèques ont lieu le mercredi 17 juillet 2013, en l'église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Chantilly, avant son inhumation avec Micheline, décédée en 1974, et ses parents au cimetière Bourillon de Chantilly. Famille Marié à Mireille Roux en 1946, il en divorce en 1950. Il épouse Micheline Butot en 1953. André Verchuren a deux fils : l’aîné Harry Williams, en hommage à un parachutiste que son père avait aidé pendant la guerre, est devenu producteur de musique ; le plus jeune se nomme André Verchuren Junior. Son épouse Micheline Butot meurt en 1974 sur une route en Normandie près de Vire dans un accident de voiture alors qu'André est au volant. Il est lui-même légèrement blessé, et condamné pour homicide involontaire à trois mois d'emprisonnement avec sursis15.

April 1916 in Berlin; † 21. Juni 1996 in München) war ein deutscher Schlagersänger. Gerhard Wendland brach ein Jurastudium ab und wandte sich dem Gesangsstudium an der Musikhochschule Berlin zu. Er hatte beschlossen, Opernsänger zu werden. Der Dirigent und Komponist leichter Musik, Franz Grothe, überredete ihn zu Schlageraufnahmen. Mit 27 Jahren brachte Wendland seine erste Schallplatte, Du warst für mich der schönste Traum, heraus. Im Jahr 1940 wurde Wendlands Karriere durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg unterbrochen; er wurde einberufen und geriet in amerikanische Kriegsgefangenschaft. Im Jahr 1948 nutzte er seine in der Gefangenschaft geknüpften Kontakte und trat in amerikanischen Offiziersclubs als Sänger auf. Bald erhielt er Engagements vom Bayerischen Rundfunk und von Werner Müller, dem Leiter des RIAS Tanzorchesters. Hier arbeitete er oft mit der Sängerin Gitta Lind zusammen. Im Jahr 1951 war sein Schlager _Das machen nur die Beine von Dolores_ in allen Radiostationen zu hören. Er war in den 1950er Jahren einer der gefragtesten Interpreten. Im Jahr 1960 nahm er mit dem Lied _Alle Wunder dieser Welt_ an der deutschen Vorentscheidung zum Grand Prix Eurovision (Eurovision Song Contest) teil und erreichte den dritten Platz. 1964 nahm er erneut, wenn auch erfolglos, mit _Wohin ist der Sommer_ an der deutschen Vorentscheidung zum Grand Prix teil. Für den Tango _Tanze mit mir in den Morgen_ erhielt Wendland 1961 eine Goldene Schallplatte. Das Lied war zehn Monate in der Hitparade vermerkt. Im Jahr 1964 erhielt er den Auftrag, das Lied der ARD-Fernsehlotterie aufzunehmen, und sang den Song _Bald klopft das Glück auch mal an deine Tür_ in zahlreichen Fernsehsendungen. _Tanze mit mir in den Morgen_ verkaufte sich insgesamt über eine Million Mal, davon 500.000 Mal in Deutschland, womit es zu den meistverkauften Schlagern des Landes zählt. Am 18. Januar 1969 trat er in der ersten Ausgabe von Dieter Thomas Hecks ZDF-Hitparade mit dem Titel _Liebst Du mich?_ auf. Seit Beginn der Fußball-Bundesliga bekannte er sich zu seiner Lieblingsmannschaft, Borussia Dortmund, und war dort oft Gast auf der Tribüne. Daneben war Wendland auch auf der Leinwand zu sehen, wo er manchmal sich selbst spielte. Auftritte im Theater und als häufiger Gast bei Galaveranstaltungen rundeten sein Künstlerleben ab. Gerhard Wendland starb am 21. Juni 1996 in seinem Haus bei München. Seine Grabstätte befindet sich auf dem Friedhof Riem in München. *Ralph Maria Siegel* (* 8. Juni 1911 in München; † 2. August 1972 ebenda, eigentlich Rudolf Maria Siegel ) war ein deutscher Komponist, Liedtexter, Musikverleger, Schriftsteller und Sänger (Tenor). Ralph Maria Siegel war ein Sohn des Juristen und Komponisten Rudolf Siegel. Er studierte Musik in Köln, Florenz, Rom und Berlin. Zu seinen Lehrern gehörte unter anderem Ernst Toch, daneben erhielt er Gesangsunterricht. Über seinen Vater war er Urenkel des Ägyptologen Karl Richard Lepsius. Er begann seine künstlerische Laufbahn als Operettentenor und sang in Berlin am Metropoltheater und im Admiralspalast. In den 1930er Jahren war er außerdem Aufsichtsratsmitglied der GEMA und einer der Verantwortlichen für das Verbot der freien Verbreitung von Notenblättern beziehungsweise für die Limitierung auf 250 Freiexemplare. Mit seinem Schlagerprogramm bediente er außerdem nicht unwesentlich die völkisch-kulturpolitische Ästhetik des Nationalsozialismus. Leichte Musik mit unterhaltsamen Texten sollten das Publikum durch die Kriegsjahre begleiten, indem der emotionale Zusammenhalt der Bevölkerung auf subtile Weise durch die scheinbar heile Welt künstlerischer Leichtigkeit beschworen wurde. Neben den von ihm verfassten, gewollt banalen Schlagertexten diskreditierte Siegel gelegentlich auch ganz bewußt andere zeitgenössische Musikstile als „Entartete Kunst“. Seit 1941 arbeitete er am Theater am Gärtnerplatz in München. Von 1946 bis 1949 war er künstlerischer Leiter und Oberspielleiter am Kurhaus-Theater in Augsburg, außerdem betätigte er sich als Regisseur am Corso-Theater in Berlin und am Deutschen Theater in München. Siegel war einer der erfolgreichsten Schlager-Texter und -Komponisten der dreißiger bis fünfziger Jahre. Wiederholt schrieb Siegel den Text, während Gerhard Winkler die Musik komponierte. Aus seiner Feder stammen Lieder wie zum Beispiel: Capri-Fischer (1943) Es leuchten die Sterne (1938) Ich hab’ noch einen Koffer in Berlin (1951) Moulin Rouge C’est si bon (deutscher Text) Das Chianti-Lied (1939) O mia bella Napoli (1938) Unter der roten Laterne von St. Pauli mit Text von Günther Schwenn und Peter Schaeffers (1941) Schön war die Zeit (1937, mit dem Orchester Eugen Wolff) Sing ein Lied, wenn du mal traurig bist Gitarren spielt auf! / Chitarra d’amor (1934, deutscher und italienischer Text; Musik: Ludwig Schmidseder) Im Harem sitzen heulend die Eunuchen bzw. Skandal im Harem Das Lied der Taube Schau mich bitte nicht so an (Original: La vie en rose, 1945, Musik: Louiguy) Telefon, Telefon (deutscher Beitrag zum Eurovision Song Contest 1957, gesungen von Margot Hielscher) Darum träum’ ich nur von dir (1958, Original All I Have to Do Is Dream) Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel (1960, Original Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool) 1948 gründete er in München die Ralph-Maria-Siegel-Musik-Verlage, die er bis zu seinem Tod leitete. Die Texte mehrerer fremdsprachiger Filme übertrug er ins Deutsche, für einige deutsche Produktionen komponierte er die Filmmusik. Der vielseitig begabte Siegel schuf auch zahlreiche Bühnenwerke, darunter in Zusammenarbeit mit Hellmut Seifert _Alles für Eva_ (1933); _Liebeszauber_ (1936), _Frechheit siegt_ (1942) oder _Charley’s Tante_ (Musical, Uraufführung 1959). Siegel war mit dem Leipziger Operettenstar Ingeborg „Sternchen“ Döderlein verheiratet, aus deren Ehe der später auch erfolgreiche Sohn Ralph Siegel hervorging. Seine Grabstätte befindet sich auf dem Münchner Nordfriedhof. Filmmusik 1936: Hilde und die vier PS 1956: Die Fischerin vom Bodensee 1957: Tante Wanda aus Uganda 1962: Ihr schönster Tag 1965: Herr Kayser und die Nachtigall
Johannes *"Pi" Scheffer* (Amsterdam, 21 september 1909 - Naarden, 14 januari 1988) was een Nederlands componist, pedagoog en dirigent. Pi is een bijnaam, die hem door collega's is gegeven. De naam van de musicus Pi Scheffer is bekend, die van de docent Engels Dr. Johannes Scheffer vrijwel niet. Toch behoren zij beide toe aan een en dezelfde persoon. Levensloop Scheffer kreeg zijn eerste muzieklessen van zijn vader, een koorleider en organist. Hij leerde zijn zoon tevens het grootste van de instrumenten te bespelen. Pi speelde klarinet in de Harmonie Laurens Janszoon Coster in Haarlem en tegelijkertijd speelde hij trombone in het Fanfareorkest Sursum te Bloemendaal en in het symfonieorkest Euterpe in Haarlem. Aan de Da Costa kweekschool te Haarlem behaalde hij in 1928 de onderwijzersakte, in 1930 de hoofdakte. In 1931 slaagde hij voor de akte Engels LO en later voor de lagere akten Duits en wiskunde. Na een aantal jaren muziek en onderwijs met elkaar te hebben gecombineerd, besloot Scheffer om beroepsmusicus te worden. Grote naam maakte hij na de Tweede Wereldoorlog met The Skymasters. Hij leidde verscheidene andere radio-orkesten, zoals de OK Wobblers, het amusementsorkest De Zaaiers, het Divertimento-orkest en de NCRV-tv Big Band. In deze tijd nam hij privé harmonie- en contrapuntlessen bij Ernest Willem Mulder en directielessen bij Toon Verwey. Na een aantal jaren wisselde hij opnieuw en behaalde in recordtijd zijn MO-akte Engels A en B en promoveerde tot Doctor in de letteren aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. In 1964 werd Pi Scheffer benoemd tot wetenschappelijk medewerker aan deze universiteit. Toch bleef Pi Scheffer zich met muziek bezighouden. Af en toe verving hij een orkestleider of speelde in een band mee. Verder arrangeerde en componeerde hij of bedacht muzikale grappen zoals een concert voor tuinslang en Metropole Orkest. In het begin van de jaren zestig arrangeerde hij een aantal populaire werken voor het Metropole Orkest, toen onder leiding van Dolf van der Linden. De muziekuitgever Piet Molenaar uit Wormerveer nodigde hem rond de jaren zestig uit, voor harmonie- en fanfareorkesten te componeren. Zijn eerste compositie voor dit medium waren zijn Highroad Impressions uit 1960. Het werk kreeg een lovende beoordeling van Henk van Lijnschooten en sindsdien zijn er talloze composities van zijn hand verschenen.

Hij componeerde de muziek van een aantal bekende Nederlandse liedjes, zoals _Ketelbinkie_ (bekend van Frans van Schaik) en *_Bloesem van seringen_* van The Skymasters en Karel van der Velden. Jarenlang werkte hij mee aan programma's van de VARA. Zo verzorgde hij vaak de muziek bij cabaretliedjes van Wim Ibo en leidde hij het VARA Radio-Orkest. Ook had hij zijn eigen accordeonorkest. Bekende accordeoncomposities van Vogel waren onder andere _De kleine postiljon_ en _De maharadja van Magador._ Jan Vogel woonde op een woonboot in Amsterdam en was een groot kunstliefhebber. Na het overlijden van zijn in Genève geboren weduwe, Johanna Emelie Maria Rammers (1920-2003) werd zijn kunstverzameling, met werken van onder andere Jan Sluijters, Cees Bolding en Kees Maks, geveild. De opbrengst kwam ten goede aan de Jan Vogel Stichting, die ten doel heeft zijn muzikale erfenis in ere te houden. Per 1 januari 2008 heeft deze stichting een fonds op naam ingesteld bij het Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds onder de naam Jan Vogel Fonds. Dit fonds heeft tot doel: Het bevorderen van het ten gehore brengen van werken van Jan Vogel en het stimuleren van projecten betreffende de muziek als onderdeel van de kleinkunst. Hij was op 15 april 1925 eerder getrouwd met de in Lübeck geboren, Henriette Elisabeth Gelauff (1905-1962) en uit dit huwelijk is een kind geboren. Op zijn vakantieadres in Zwitserland werd hij in 1983 dodelijk getroffen door een zware hartaanval. Johannes Hendrik *"Han" Dunk* (Amsterdam, 12 oktober 1909 - Alkmaar, 5 november 1996) was een Nederlands componist, tekstdichter en muziekuitgever. Loopbaan Han Dunk begon in zijn hbs-tijd met het vertalen van populaire Engelse liedjes naar het Nederlands. In 1943 deed hij auditie bij de AVRO en startte zijn muzikale carrière. Met Pat Miller & The Rhythm Boys reisde hij door Europa. Hij is de componist van populaire liedjes uit de Nederlandse lichte muziek als _Als op Capri de rozentuinen bloeien_ en _Eens zal de Betuwe in bloei weer staan._ De componist krijgt de bijnaam 'Mister Melody' en gaat werken bij de uitgeverij Phonogram. In 1975 kreeg hij de Gouden Harp voor zijn oeuvre. In 1977 bij zijn pensionering kreeg hij van zijn werkgever Phonogram de Gouden Tulp.

1955 - _Here's to the Gordons_ - Robert Wilson, Andy Garden (music) & Harold Stewart (words) - Philip Green (orchestra) - Kirk Stevens (Thomas Blair; March 2, 1930, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, UK - October 29, 1995, Boston, Massachusetts, USA) *Robert Wilson* (1907-1964) was a Scottish tenor who became known as 'The Voice of Scotland' through his extensive touring. He was the first presenter of the BBC's The White Heather Club. Early life Robert Wilson was born on 2 January 1909 in the Cambuslang district of Glasgow, to Alexander Wilson, a tailor, and Marion née McClurg. Another source suggests he was born in the Lanarkshire village of Newarthill to a family of pit owners? Always having the urge to sing, he persisted and made every effort until he was able to break into the entertainment business as a professional. He received his early training as a volunteer in the choir of the Glasgow Cathedral, under the tutorship of Scottish bass singer, Elliot Dobie. As a teenager Wilson started his working life as a trainee engineering draughtsman in a drawing office. However, with his fine natural singing voice he soon found his way into amateur concerts, where his success gave him sufficient encouragement to justify turning professional. And so, in 1930, at the age of 20, Wilson left his job as a draughtsman to become a full-time singer with the Rothesay Entertainers on the Isle of Bute, whose summer show involved a complete change of programme every night and, on wet days, matinees for the entire season. D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, 1931-37 In 1931 he became a member of the famous D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, performing in practically every tenor and supporting role there was, improving his technique, studying others, and playing all over Britain, America and Canada. Wilson's voice was of sufficient quality to justify him going out alone as a concert singer. He first visited the USA in 1932, as a chorus boy, and in 1933, as a principal. He toured the USA and Canada in Gilbert and Sullivan operas; broadcast with Ambrose and his Orchestra; Henry Hall's Guest Night; Mario De Pietro and his Estudiantino; Ronnie Munro and the BBC Scottish Variety Orchestra. He left the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1937 due to ill-health. Wartime career Wilson was "discovered" by Ambrose and appeared with him and Vera Lynn at the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow in 1938. Eventually, in 1939, having a wealth of experience behind him, Wilson branched out into variety. Wherever he played his charming personality, his physique and immaculate dress, captured the public's imagination. Soon he was a top of the bill act, and before long was playing long resident summer seasons at The Theatre Royal, Edinburgh (from 1939 onwards), some highly successful pantomimes with Scottish comedians Harry Gordon and Will Fyffe, and variety in all the number one theatres throughout Britain. By the start of the war he was already considered the leading tenor in Scotland, who had made a name for himself through his stage, radio, and film appearances, as well as on many gramophone records. Second World War It was not until the early days of the Second World War, when on an ENSA tour as a straight singer with Will Fyffe, that Wilson was forced to alter his style and developed the kilted "Voice of Scotland" persona that was to become his trademark. They toured Scotland, entertaining members of the British Forces and munition and other war workers. In the course of many gruelling months, they did as many as 18 concerts in two days, with breaks of only half-an-hour for coffee. Wilson also broadcast throughout the war. On Sunday 31 December 1939, for example, he was heard on the air when, from a point near the Maginot Line he joined with Will Fyffe and other stars in giving a concert for the troops, singing The Road to the Isles. In 1942 he toured with Jack Anthony. He headed South to further his career towards the end of the war but returned for an edition of Heather Mixture on the Scottish Home Service on Friday 15 March 1946 and on Wednesday 16 February 1949. Post-war/White Heather Group In 1945, when it was comparatively unknown, Wilson began singing Westering Home all over the country and it rapidly became a favourite. In around 1946 he formed "Robert Wilson's Touring Company" which toured the cities, towns and villages of Scotland with a series of "one-night stands", resurrecting an idea pioneered by Harry Lauder in his early days and long neglected by Scottish artists. Such tours were peculiar to Scotland and Ireland; England had nothing like them. Even as he became one of the world's best-paid artists, it was a tradition he continued to uphold, spending six months of every year visiting even tiny village halls in the smallest of communities, where everyone for miles around turned out. He surrounded himself with talented musicians such as Tammas Fisher, his accompanist, and the accordionist Will Starr (who was the BBC's accordionist), as well as comedians such as Tommy Loman. At some point this became known as "The White Heather Group". In 1948 his company was booked to do a sell-out show in Toronto, Canada, at the 700-seat Massey Hall. The party of four - Robert Wilson, Tammas Fisher (at the piano), C. Arthur Mitchell and Will Starr - sailed across the Atlantic by cargo passenger ship. They took the stage at 8pm and finished at 12.15am, taking encore after encore as the audience would not let them finish. Word got around and the success of that show led to the regular annual tours of the White Heather Group to Canada and America, tours which continued for years to come. The Windsor Daily Star said: _It was the first time in 20 years an audience had been known to stand and sing Will ye no' come back again. Robert Wilson and his talented unit sang right back in improvisation "Yes we will come back again."_ Wilson subsequently went back and sang in Toronto, Windsor, St Catherines, Tilbury, Ontario, Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia and Montreal. He pioneered the trail for Scots artists to Canada and the States. Kenneth McKellar and Andy Stewart followed in his footsteps. In 1949, Wilson flew to New York, where he was specially engaged to appear at the Manhattan Center on Friday 4 November for the Scottish Clans Associations of New York and New Jersey, teaming up with Will Starr for what would be the first of many annual trips together. In 1950 Wilson toured with the comedian Jack Radcliffe. In the final two months of the year he did a tour of America and Canada with Alec Finlay. He returned to appear in pantomime at Glasgow's Alhambra Theatre with Harry Gordon, Alec Finlay and Duncan Macrae. In 1951 he teamed up with the rising Scots comedian, Stanley Baxter from the Citizen's Theatre, Glasgow and the radio programme, It's All Yours. He broke into the English market with his BBC Light Programme show Down in the Glen, which was broadcast on Sunday afternoons from 18 March to 29 April 1951. In the summer he did a tour of Scotland before leaving for New York on 24 August for a ten-week coast-to-coast tour of Canada and America, along with the Scots comedian Alec Finlay and Will Starr, the Parlophone recording star. He appeared on television shows and broadcast with Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. Drink driving charge Wilson returned home in time for the Glasgow Alhambra Theatre pantomime, but after leaving rehearsals at the theatre on Sunday 2 December 1951, he was charged with drink driving. When he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court the following month, the 44-year-old was fined £10 and disqualified from driving for a year for drink driving. He was recognised by Queen Elizabeth when, on her first official residence in Scotland, she invited Wilson to sing to her and to her subjects on the forecourt of Holyrood Palace. Writing and music publishing In 1952 Wilson became one of the director's of a new company, Kerr's Music Corporation Ltd, at 79 Berkeley Street, Glasgow, which manufactured gramophone records and recordings, and printed and published music. It traded under the name James S. Kerr. He also opened a record store in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. In March 1962, Bill McCue (Entertainment) Ltd. was registered at the same address. Other He took part in the first great Scottish Music Hall on television on 15 November 1952. By 1957 the group had a personnel of over 20 artistes. The first reference to the concert party calling themselves "The White Heather Group" is contained in newspapers in 1954. From then on, and for around 18 years, Robert Wilson and Will Starr were the first names thought of when news of a White Heather Group concert was mentioned. Back in Scotland, at each location, following the public concert, the artistes would record a half-hour programme, Personal Appearance for the BBC Scottish Home Service (Wednesdays evenings from 4 April 1956). By this time the Group was headed by Wilson and Jimmy Shand and his Band. Other names who owe part of their early success to Robert Wilson and the White Heather Group included Andy Stewart, Sydney Devine, Kenneth McKellar, Ken Swann and McGee etc. From Monday 3 June 1961 the White Heather Group did a new Scottish variety show at the Capitol, Aberdeen for a season, with an all-start cast including Robert Wilson and the Joe Gordon Folk Four. The programme featured two television shows. The first half was devoted to Jig Time, similar to that on STV, and Robert Wilson was the host. The rest of the show was filled by the White Heather Group, well known to BBC viewers in the North-east.
Continued He also appeared in cabaret on the continent, broadcast on top American radio shows, performed on television, and appeared before members of the Royal Family. On the back of one of his records, Mervyn Douglas wrote: _If one were asked to name a vocal successor to the late Sir Harry Lauder, however different in style, the one name to spring into mind would be Robert Wilson. Aptly dubbed "The Voice of Scotland", Robert Wilson's name has become a household one wherever Scots may congregate. From the log cabins of the Canadian Scot, from the penthouses of the ex-highland American millionaire, to the tiny clachans in the villages of his native land - the name of Robert Wilson is the very breath of the country which he represents and of which he is so rightly proud._ Robert Wilson has carved for himself a name not only national in prominence but international to the extent of being an ambassador of all that is Scottish to his other countrymen who have emigrated to lands afar. Add to these countless admirers the many followers of his wonderful singing and one has a great public ever-hungry for his recordings. Retirement from the stage In the last week of February 1963, Wilson announced that his appearance that week at the Glasgow Empire would mark his last performance on the stage. He planned to retire and spend his time with his business interests in management and tours, including partnership of a New York theatrical agency, his music publishing firm, and his new recording company. "I shall still be on the fringe of the business, recording new artists publishing music," he said. Death Wilson and his wife were involved in a car accident in April 1964 as they drove home from the funeral in Motherwell of his father-in-law. He spent several weeks in hospital suffering from severe head and chest injuries. He was allowed home, but a few weeks later had a relapse and was taken to Ballochmoyle Hospital in Ayrshire. He was released home in August. However, he had a second relapse and slipped into a coma a few days before his death on 25 September 1964 at his home in Ayr. He was aged 57. Discography From his first solo recording, soon after leaving the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in the 1930s, until his retirement in 1962, Wilson's prolific output was listened to around the world; by Scottish communities, and others too.

*Philip Green* (19 July 1911 - 6 October 1982), sometimes credited as Harry Philip Green or Phil Green, was a British film and television composer and conductor, and also a pianist and accordion player. He made his name in the 1930s playing in and conducting dance bands, performed with leading classical musicians, scored up to 150 films, wrote radio and television theme tunes and library music, and finally turned to church music at the end of his life in Ireland, a song from which period proved so popular that it reached No. 3 on the Irish chart in 1973. Early life and career Green was born on 19 July 1911 in Whitechapel, London. His father was Philip Green, a boot clicker, and his mother was Elizabeth Vogel. He began learning the piano at the age of seven, and went on to study at Trinity College of Music in London, aged just 13. After college he played in various orchestras, and then became conductor at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. He signed as a recording artist to EMI in 1933 at the age of 21 and continued to record for them throughout his lifetime. Green conducted large orchestras and played piano and accordion in small bands across Europe. One of the small bands, put together for recording purposes, was the Ballyhooligans, using a line-up of clarinet, two pianos, guitar, bass and drums, which played in a "near-Dixieland" style. Between 1935 and 1939 Green became well known for his Radio Luxembourg programmes, which were broadcast to Britain. During the war, Green regularly conducted for BBC broadcasts with various orchestras, on programmes such as _Salute to Rhythm,_ and _Band Call._ In these programmes he introduced such stars as Dorothy Carless (1916-2012), Monte Ray (1900-1982) and Beryl Davis to British listeners. One of his bands during this period featured a remarkable set of players from the classical music world: Green himself on accordion, Arthur Gleghorn (flute), Leon Goossens (oboe), Reginald Kell (clarinet), Victor Watson (double bass), Jack Collings (percussion), and Denis Gomm (piano), all of whom were members of the BBC Salon Orchestra at the time. Green also became house arranger and conductor for Decca and accompanied many of their vocalists such as Gracie Fields, Donald Peers and Anne Shelton. Film music Green's first credited film work was on 1943's _The Sky's the Limit,_ but his first notable success came with _The Magic Bow_ (1946), a musical based on the life and loves of the Italian violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini. The 'Romance' from that film, as played by Yehudi Menuhin, and later taken up by Max Jaffa, became a great hit. He was appointed resident musical director of the Rank Organisation. Green composed more than 150 film scores, including _The Yellow Balloon_ (1952), _Carry On Admiral_ (1957), _The Square Peg_ (1958, together with several other Norman Wisdom films), the theme song of _The Shakedown_ (1959; sung by Kathy Kirby), _The League of Gentlemen_ (1960), _Victim, The Singer Not the Song_ (both 1961), and _The Intelligence Men_ (1965). His themes for _John and Julie_ (1954) and _The March Hare_ (1956) both won Ivor Novello Awards. He also composed the themes for the 1960s ATV television crime series _Ghost Squad_ and _Sergeant Cork._ Green made two cameo appearances in films that he worked on: as a bandleader in _It Happened One Sunday_ (1944); and, again, as a bandleader in _The Dream Maker _(1963). Other work Like many composers of film music, Green also composed and arranged light orchestral concert works and wrote prolifically for production music libraries. As a result, a number of his compositions are familiar through their use in radio and television programmes. They include pieces such as Cuban Suite and Cocktail Hat Suite, and single-movement pieces such as "Follow Me Around" and "White Orchids". "Shopping Centre" was used as the theme for the 1936 BBC television programme _Picture Page_ and was released commercially by Charles Williams in the 1930s. "Horse Feathers" was used as the theme tune for the BBC radio series _Meet the Huggetts_ (1953-1961). Other pieces were written under pseudonyms, such as _Ecstasy_ by Jose Belmont or _Frenesi_ by Don Felipe. A number of his production music pieces were used in _Night of the Living Dead_ and in _Looney Tunes_ theatrical shorts (such as in 1958 when the musicians were on strike, or later added as part of TV prints for _Freudy Cat)._ His stock music continues to be used in modern shows such as _The Ren and Stimpy Show, The World's Greatest Magic_ and _SpongeBob SquarePants._ Philip Scowcroft remembers some stage music, including a children's musical _(Noddy in Toyland),_ a revue _(Fancy Free)_ and an ice show _(Wildfire),_ as well as some songs that achieved popularity in the early 1950s, such as "Let's Go to the Pictures" and "Love Is Like An April Shower". In the field of pop music, Green co-wrote the United Kingdom's 1963 Eurovision Song Contest entry, "Say Wonderful Things", with lyrics by Norman Newell. It was recorded by Ronnie Carroll. The song finished fourth behind Denmark, Switzerland and Italy, and eventually reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart. Later career and death Green continued to compose and conduct for film and television, including the theme tune for _The Golden Shot_ (1967), and to issue light orchestral music recordings until his retirement in 1966. Together with his wife, he established the Philip and Dorothy Green Music Trust to help young musicians and composers. While living in Ireland, he became interested in church music, and composed a full-scale _St Patrick's Mass,_ which was recorded by the Trinity Chorale in 1971 with the composer conducting. It was followed a year later by the _Mass of St. Francis of Assisi._ This was recorded with the Cork Children's Choir and the Scottish tenor/celebrant Canon Sydney MacEwan and released in November 1972. The song "Suffer Little Children" from the latter Mass was released as a single in 1973 and reached No. 3 on the Irish chart, remaining on the chart for five months. It is regularly used as a communion hymn in Catholic churches.[24] Green died in Dublin in 1982 after a long illness, from cerebral metastasis.
