Farnon was also revered as an arranger of quality popular songs, having influenced most of the top writers on both sides of the Atlantic during the second half of this century. He has also produced some memorable film scores, and could have earned considerable fame and fortune had he decided to settle in Hollywood. But it is our good fortune in Britain that he chose to make his home with us. https://www.robertfarnonsociety.org.uk/

Bob Farnon had some outstanding full orchestra light music LPs recorded in the late 50s. This is another dimension and also outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
