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.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
