Sam Browne

English dance band singer Born 26 March 1898 in London, England Died 2 March 1972 in England Sam Browne was a popular British dance band vocalist of the 1930s. He was particularly remembered for singing with Jack Hylton And His Orchestra, Ambrose & His Orchestra, and Lew Stone And His Band at the Mayfair Hotel, Embassy Club, and more. He made many recordings from 1930 to 1942, and he was also known for his duets and variety performances with the singer Elsie Carlisle. Sam's voice is easily recognizable and it has been quite an easy task for discographers to identify many of the anonymous 'vocal refrains' on records by the less famous bands. With the publication of a full discography it is now clear that Sam made over 2000 recordings.
