Eddy Howard ist sicher nicht mein Fall, weil diese Schlagersänger keine musikalischen Innovationen bringen und daher für mich kaum einen Genuß darstellen können. Rein zufällig habe ich seinen Titel "Forevermore" in meiner Sammlung, da ELITE SPECIAL beim Patti Page-Titel "Steam Heat" unerklärlicherweise Howards "Forevermore" als Rückseite verwendet hat (MERCURY 70566-45, in Deutschland mit der gleichen Nummer als AUSTROTON). Ich habe mir den Titel angehört und konnte positiv vermerken, dass dieser Schlager ganz ohne "Big Band Kreisch-Sound" auskommt, gemütlich dahinplätschert und somit auch nicht besonders störend für die (meine) Ohren ist. Das ist die typische Schellackmusik und daher sind seine großen Hits fast nur auf Schellack zu haben.
Ich befasse mich zwar nicht mit Schellacks habe aber trotzdem einige Unterlagen parat die ich jetzt für die Schlager- und Schellackfreunde quasi als Wiedergutmachung für meine Äüßerungen zur Verfügung stelle.

Ich würde meinen, lassen wir den Journalisten aus Memphis Edwin Howard, der meiner Ansicht nach weit jünger sein müßte als Eddy Howard, mit seinem einmaligen Platten-Versuch in diesem Thread. Hier kann man ihm auch bei seinem Versuch zuhören:

Äußerst interessant finde ich Dieter's Sheet-Music. Den Titel "The Last Mile Home" gibt es von allen möglichen Interpreten, eine Aufnahme von Eddy Howard fand ich allerdings nicht. Ist diese irgendwo versteckt oder wurde nur die damalige Popularität des Sängers für Reklamezwecke genutzt?
