Al Bowlly Sings 'The Very Thought of You' (1934) | British Pathé
Jazz singer Al Bowlly sings his popular hit 'The Very Thought of You' in 1934 at Pathé Studios, taken from Lew Stone's famous 'Monseigneur Band.' 
Bowlly was South African (although born in Mozambique) yet he became a great star in both the UK and America during the 1930′s. 
 Al Bowlly enjoyed over 15 big hits from 1935 to 1941, acquiring a mass radio following of millions.
 Tragically he was killed in the Blitz, when his home in St. James was bombed in 1941. He was 43 years old.

LECTURE 18: COMING APART (PART 1): In February 1968, the Indian spiritual guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918-2008), the leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement, welcomed the members of The Beatles to his ashram in Rishikesh, near the Ganges River, in India, which triggered an avalanche of publicity for the eccentric spiritual spokesman. This decidedly irreverent British Pathé newsreel footage from the time offers a glimpse of the Fab Four at Rishikesh, participating in TM seminars and absorbing Indian culture and living.
