Mendelssohn, who claimed to be related to the 19th Century classical composer, also was the proprietor of a shady Soho nightclub before World War II. “You Ought to See Sally on Sunday,” the song written by Harry M.

The song was originally written for the 1937 Fred Astaire, George Burns and Gracie Allen Movie: A Damsel in Distress. “Safety Sue” was a 1958 radio public service announcement recorded by the Duke of Bedford, cricket and football star, Denis Compton, champion Formula 1 driver Stirling Moss and Sheila van Damm, who was a pioneering female race car driver after World War II and who was the proprietress of Soho’s Windmill Theatre, which she inherited from her father and was famed for its scantily clad dancing girls and vaudeville-style comedy and cabaret acts. This was fatefully found on the historical document: Soho Blondes & Peeping Toms! Saucy Vocals From the ‘50s and ‘60s. “Yer Gotta Get Aht,” inked by Leslie Sarony, was waxed by the British actor and comedian Norman Wisdom in 1960 and is featured on the robustious retrospective: And This Is Me – Britain’s Finest Thespians Sing. We can only imagine what he would think of today’s London, following almost 60 more years of additional construction and congestion. “Wonderful Land” was composed by Jerry Lordan and was a hit for the British guitar band The Shadows in 1962. This version was recorded 42 years later by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain on their copacetic compact disc The Secret of Life. “These Foolish Things” was sung by the American canary Joy Bryan on her 1961 amorous album: Make the Man Love Me, with Wynton Kelly on Piano, Al Viola on Electric Guitar, Leroy Vinnegar on Bass and Frank Butler on Drums. The 1936 song was created by British composer Jack Strachey with words penned by Lyricist Eric Maschwitz under his pen name, Holt Marvell, for Joan Carr for a late-evening revue broadcast by the BBC. It expresses his feelings about his missing his lover, Anna May Wong, who left him in England to return to Hollywood. “Soho Nights,” performed by the perfumed pan-British trio, The Puppini Sisters on their superlitious CD: The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo. “Wouldn't It Be Loverly,” the classic song by Lerner & Loewe for the 1956 musical: My Fair Lady sung by Britain’s Ian Shaw on his duet album with pianist Cedar Walton titled, In a New York Minute, including David Williams on Bass. “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” the 1939 song by Eric Maschwitz and Manning Sherwin, performed in 1981 and found on The Manhattan Transfer Anthology – Dream in Birdland.
