Cleo Laine and John Dankworth

John Dankworth CBE (1927 - 2010) was a British composer, saxophonist and clarinetist married to Cleo Laine his vocalist with the band.

'The Complete Works' was written by Dankworth as part of a series of Shakespeare settings set to music by various composers and recorded by the band with Cleo Laine on vocals.

It lists all of Shakespeare's works and came in very handy in a pub quiz question which my team won when, by remembering the songs lyrics, I was able to write down 10 of Shakespeare's works that did not have a human name on the title!

Dankworth's discography can be found here.
