Ted Heath (bandleader)
George Edward "Ted" Heath (30 March 1902 – 18 November 1969) was a British musician and big band leader.
He led Britain's greatest post-war big band recording more than 100 albums which sold over 20 million copies. Considered the most successful band in Britain during the 1950s, it remained in existence as a ghost band long after Heath died, surviving in such a form until 2000.
Musical beginnings
After playing tenor horn at the age of six, encouraged by his father, the leader of the Wandsworth Town Brass Band, Heath later switched to trombone.
Earning a living for his family in the post-war years he, and his brother Harold with three other musicians, formed a band that played to commuters outside London Bridge Station before winding their way along the streets in London to a location outside the Queen’s Hall Gardens venue. It was here that Heath’s professional career began as he was spotted on the street and asked to play with the Jack Hylton Band who had a residence there. He did not last long, not having the experience required, but it gave him the ambition to pursue a career as a professional musician.

Dot the I
Stretch your lips and smile
Let the world run by
Be the fool
Tomorrow morning's here
And I'm all nonsense dear
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close, come free
Love happened to happen to me
Dot the I
Trust your kite to fly
I could lend you mine
Spot the gag
Tick it, tock it, light a fag
Never say goodbye
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close, come free
Love happened to happen to me
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close, come free
Love happened to happen to me
Woooo
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close, come free
Love happened to happen to me
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close, come free
Love happened to happen to me
Dot the I
Count to three and sigh
