Stanley Holloway (1890–1982) was an English actor, monologist, and entertainer renowned for his superb comic and character roles. While he is posthumously remembered for his significant contributions to the world of stage and film, music was another of his fortes, with his distinctive voice capturing the hearts of many. Born in London, Holloway's career spanned over six decades, beginning in the music halls and eventually leading to Broadway and the West End. He is perhaps best known for his role as Alfred P. Doolittle in both the stage and film versions of "My Fair Lady," where his performance garnered critical acclaim.

Although Stanley Holloway passed away long before these compilations were released, his legacy lives on through collections and soundtracks that celebrate his work. Albums like "No Trees In The Street: Original Soundtrack Recording" and "Monologues...And More" illustrate his versatility as a performer. His recordings of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," as well as his renditions of Edward Lear and the "Bab Ballads," showcase another aspect of his artistry, as he brings wit and charm to classic pieces of English literature. His album "'Ere's 'Olloway" and the eponymous "Stanley Holloway" provide a comprehensive look at the breadth of his work, featuring his distinctive monologues and songs that have immortalized him as one of Britain's national treasures in the performing arts.
