since you've stretched it to the 50s, how about Billy Fury?

Were there witty madrigals about urban malaise?

But of course the cutpurses and harlots of Limehouse in 1910 or 1930 would have gone for the dead-baby numbers, no question; crooks have always been notoriously sentimental.

That's a great line!

There is a series of comps with probably the same or same kind of stuff called the Glory Of The Music Hall. I have volume III and it is highly recommended. It contains my favorite song title of all time, Bill Merson's "The Spaniard Who Blighted My Life".

By 'as', do you mean 'in the same way as' or 'as much as'?

Search out a copy of the soundtracks to Pennies from Heaven or The Singing Dtective. Also check out Malcolm Laycock's show on radio 2 on Sunday nights or via the interweb.
