Said about Jack Hylton: "He looked like such an insignificant man, with no special attributes, but beneath his beguiling simplicity was a forceful character and a formidable brain with prolific ideas which paved the way for dance bands in Britain. He was in every sense an original with the human touch."
"He was very short tempered…but he was strangely patient, he was outstandingly generous, he had a wild sense of humour, he was quick to rise to temper and quick to fall away. If there was ridiculousness in his argument, he would see it. He basically wanted to enjoy himself, I think. I’ve never seen anybody who wanted to enjoy themselves as much and I’ve certainly never seen anybody who succeeded to quite such a degree."
Enjoy the extensive Jack Hylton Music Downloads. May I have this dance? (another find at Michael's place)
