I am interested in the above songwriter of Goodbyee, who is realted to my family by marriage. A general search only brings details of his songs - what I am interested in are some details of his life. He married Marly Longmire, early 1900s? in Liverpool ? Does anyone know where I could get more details - when he was born and died for instance? Any help appreciated Gwen

Gwen According to the Internet Movie Database (http://uk.imdb.com) his real name was Albert George Lee. Date of birth: 11 June 1880, Ravensthorpe, England, UK Date of death: 23 January 1946, Llandudno, England, UK [should be Wales!] There's also a list of his films: Up for the Cup (1950) She Couldn't Say No (1939) Yes, Madam (1939) Hold My Hand (1938) Please Teacher (1937) (play) Splinters in the Air (1937) Fame (1936) Hope of His Side (1935) ... aka Where's George? (1935) Squibs (1935) Doctor's Orders (1934) Girls Please! (1934) It's a Cop (1934) It's a King (1933) This Is the Life (1933) Trouble (1933) Up for the Derby (1933) Lucky Girl (1932) (play Mr. Abdullah) Mayor's Nest, The (1932) No Lady (1931) (story) Out of the Blue (1931) Splinters in the Navy (1931) Up for the Cup (1931) Black Hand Gang, The (1930) Phil Scrowcroft has included him in one of his garlands (http://www.musicweb.uk.net/garlands/255.htm): Bert Lee was also long connected with the English musical stage, as librettist and lyricist (and later as film scriptwriter), often with the Waller and Tunbridge shows, up to the Second World War, rather than as composer; but he is credited with the music for a number of songs: I Feel So Lonely for the musical The Island in 1910, Wild Oats for For the Love of Mike (1931) and numbers for sundry revues (like Sunshine and Laughter and Razzle-Dazzle) and for the touring musicals Mr Tickle MP (1924) and Billy Blue (1928). Generally speaking, his songs were best suited to revue or the older-style musical hall, examples being Fares Please! (The Tram-Conductor Girl), I Love Zomeone in Zummerset (with T.C. Sterndale Bennett), On the Nancy Lee (with Reg Low) and Fancy You Fancying Me! with Robert P. Weston, long Lee’s partner as lyricist and librettist in the theatre.
