Josef Locke - Hear My Song (2000)

This compilation contains many of JL's most famous recordings from the late 40s, and forms a splendid memento to one of British show business's most colourful personalities.
JL was a real character. Immensely popular in the 50s, his plangent Irish tenor was complemented by flashy showmanship, rakish good looks, and the sort of larger-than-life personality which ensured he was rarely out of the tabloid newspapers. He thoroughly enjoyed life and all the trappings of stardom that were so briefly his. Wearing the very best clothes, he was frequently to be seen driving around in the fastest of sports cars (white Cadillacs were a favourite) accompanied by a glamorous woman. When the taxman began to take a more than passing interest in his affairs, JL fled back to Ireland. He had the last laugh, however, when the highly-fanciful film of his life, Hear My Song, became a big hit in 1992, and brought the loveable old rogue back firmly into the limelight. JL continued to sing in Ireland until only a year or so before his death in October, 1999.
