If I Never See You as Long as I Live

CD Retrieval RTR79068

It was in March 1925 that Cliff “Ukulele Ike” Edwards recorded this song. He was immensely popular in the twenties with his ukulele and his beautiful voice, often adding an imitation of a kazoo in the process of performing.

His fame and fortune didn’t last long, but he left a lasting impression with his work for the Disney studios in the 40s when he in the role of Jiminy Cricket sang When You Wish Upon a Star.

If I Never See You as Long as I Live that was released on Pathé is like the opposite of a love song and really one of the best in that category.
