For those celebrating St Patrick's Day, from a CBC Vancouver TV special by popular request, John Gary sang "Danny Boy."
John Gary was a singer, recording artist, Broadway performer and television host of a summer replacement series for "The Danny Kaye Show." Gary started singing at the age of 5, and at 9 he won a 3-year scholarship to the prestigious Cathedral School of St John in Manhattan. He was considered one of the most talented of popular singers due to his extraordinary breath control and the tonal quality of his voice with an exceptionally wide range of three and 1/2 octaves. Nominated for a 1964 Grammy Award for Best New Artist, he recorded 24 albums for RCA and was a favourite singer of Elvis Presley.
The words for "Danny Boy" were written by English lawyer/author/lyricist Edward Weatherly in 1910 in Bath, Somerset, and set to the ancient Irish tune "Londonderry Air" in 1913. Among 3,000 other songs, Weatherly also wrote the words to the religious "The Holy City (Jerusalem, Jerusalem)", and the popular World War 1 song "Roses of Picardy." Bit of trivia: Victorian ballad :The Holy City" was sung by Jeanette MacDonald in the 1936 film :San Francisco" and mentioned in James Joyce’s "Ulysses" published 1918-1920.
