Albert Allick "Al" Bowlly (7 January 1898 – 17 April 1941) was a Mozambican-born South African/British singer, songwriter, composer and band leader, who became a popular jazz crooner during the British dance band era of the 1930s and later worked in the United States. He recorded more than 1,000 records between 1927 and 1941. His most popular songs include "Midnight, the Stars and You", "Goodnight, Sweetheart", "The Very Thought of You", "Guilty" , "Love Is the Sweetest Thing" and the only English version of "Dark Eyes" by Adalgiso Ferraris as "Black Eyes" with words of Albert Mellor.
Bowlly was born in Lourenço Marques in the then Portuguese colony of Mozambique, to Greek and Lebanese parents who met en route to Australia and moved to South Africa, where he was brought up in Johannesburg. After a series of odd jobs across South Africa in his youth, namely as a barber and jockey, he gained his musical experience singing for a dance band led by Edgar Adeler on a tour of South Africa, Rhodesia, India and Indonesia during the mid-1920s. However, he fell out with Adeler and was fired from the band in Surabaya, Indonesia. After a spell with a Filipino band in Surabaya he was then employed by Jimmy Liquime in India. Bowlly worked his passage back home through busking. Just one year after his 1927 debut recording date in Berlin, where he recorded Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" with Edgar Adeler, Bowlly arrived in London for the first time as part of Fred Elizalde's orchestra, although he nearly didn't make it after foolishly frittering away the fare money sent to him by Elizalde.
Lazy Day or Lazy Days may refer to:
"Lazy Day" is a 1969 song by the progressive rock band The Moody Blues. It was written by the band's flautist Ray Thomas, although he does not play flute on this particular song. It was recorded and released in 1969 on the Moody Blues Album On the Threshold of a Dream.
"Lazy Day" features Ray Thomas on lead vocals, and its lyrics go on to describe a typical Sunday afternoon, and includes activities like "Like to put your feet up, watch TV."
Towards the end of the verses, the lyrics "It's a crying shame. Week after week, the same," and "That's how your life goes by, until the day you die" can be heard under Ray Thomas's voice. These lyrics were sung by Justin Hayward, and describe the sad situation of the narrator's typical Sunday afternoons. Many people cite this song as an example of Ray Thomas' great harmonica playing as this song features a melancholy harmonica solo that highlights the sadness of the song's last verse.
"Lazy Day" is a popular song by the 1960s band Spanky and Our Gang that peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after its 1967 release and number 1 in the Canadian RPM Magazine charts. It appeared on their album Spanky and Our Gang.
The song stayed in the Top 40 four weeks longer than their other hit song, "Sunday Will Never Be the Same", which peaked higher on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Lazy Day" was featured on The Ed Sullivan Show and sold over one million copies.
Written by George Fischoff and Tony Powers, the song received generally positive reviews and is fondly remembered. According to AllMusic, "Lazy Day" "...is a giddy joy no matter what." Despite calling the lyrics frothy, The Milwaukee Journal writer Dick Young called the melody magnetic.

Lazy Day by Spanky And Our Gang - from 1967 - this version is the one that was a hit in our town...it has the people saying hello in the background
Music by The Moody Blues Lazy Day From their album; On a Threshold of a Dream Lazy day, Sunday afternoon, Like to get your feet up, watch T.V. Sunday roast is something good to eat, Must be lamb today 'cause beef was last week. So full up, bursting at the seams, Soon you'll start to nod off, happy dreams. Wake up, for tea and buttered scones Such a lot of work for you Sunday Moms. Today's heaven-sent and you're feeling content, You worked all week long. Still, it's quite sad tomorrow's so bad And I don't feel so strong. Lazy day, Sunday afternoon, Like to get your feet up, watch T.V. Sunday roast is something good to eat, Now it's almost over till next week.

Edit for headphones, August 2022. A song from the 1969 album "On The Threshold Of A Dream" (1994 Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab remaster UDCD 612).

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
