SIR: I enjoyed the article about Benny Hill (February issue) but feel that mention should be made of his considerable number of very amusing songs, which he composed and recorded with Pye and Tony Hatch.
I still have two 45rpm records, which I bought in 1961: one The Piccolo Song and Lonely Boy; the other Transistor Radio and Gypsy Rock. In addition, I have an LP called Benny Hill Sings? (the question mark was in the title), containing 14 songs, which I bought a little later; it includes My Garden of Love and The Egg Marketing Board Tango. He certainly gave us a lot of laughs in the early 1960s, leading on ultimately to the famous song about the milkman.
