Product Description

TYPE JOHN FRIES IN THE SEARCH BAR TO SEE ALL I HAVE TO OFFER. Thanks, John. "Cruising Down the River" is a 1946 popular recording song, which became the winner of a public songwriting competition held in the UK. Words and music were entered by two middle-aged women named Eily Beadell and Nell Tollerton. The words had been written by Eily in the 1920s, and the melody composed by music hall artist Ena Dayne; but as she could not read music, it was transcribed by Tollerton who received credit. It was sung in concert parties throughout the 1930s, mainly by Charles Ray. t has been covered numerous times by various artists, including Connie Francis on her 1959 album My Thanks to You. The song was sung by Dick Haymes in the 1953 film Cruisin' Down the River.
