Norman Long 1933

Star Item

Description

Pathe Studio?

Norman begins his performance with a little monologue about "crooners" who sing soppy foxtrots. He calls them "terrible bilge". He then jokes about how crooners have to sing with an American accent. He then sings a song called: "I Certainly Don't Need You". It is a silly song.
