From the back cover: Frank Chacksfield, born in Battle, Sussex, studied music from the age of seven. First he played the piano, then the organ, passing the Trinity College examinations and appearing as a soloist at Hastings Music Festival before he was fourteen. At fifteen he formed his own dance-band, but his parents were against his embarking on a musical career and he started working in a solicitor's office.
All day long Frank worked at law, at night he studied music. Slowly he grew convinced that music must be his career. War broke out, and in 1940 he joined the Army. During a period of convalescence from illness he made his first broadcast – singing songs at the piano in the BBC's Glasgow studios.
Frank Chacksfield has recorded with many star performers. Today he stands as one of the most popular and brilliant of Britain's light music conductors and orchestrators. – Charles Fox
