Since it was 54 years ago this month when The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released, I was reading about all the people pictured on the album cover. The article at udiscovermusic told about each person, and the list included both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. It mentioned that "A recording by the duo (“The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine”) reached No.2 in the UK singles chart in December 1975."
Well, I found that fascinating, so I searched for it on YouTube. The clip is from the Laurel and Hardy movie, Way Out West (1937), and it is apparently a classic in film history. Actor Chill Wills provided the deep bass voice that you hear coming from Stan Laurel.
