Raymond Stanley Ray Noble was an English bandleader, composer, arranger, radio comedian, and actor. Noble wrote both lyrics and music for many popular songs during the British dance band era known as the Golden Age of British music, notably for his longtime friend and associate Al Bowlly, including Love Is the Sweetest Thing, Cherokee, The Touch of Your Lips, I Hadn't Anyone Till You, and his signature tune, The Very Thought of You. Noble also played a radio comedian opposite American ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's stage act of Mortimer Snerd and Charlie McCarthy, and American comedy duo Burns and Allen, later transferring these roles from radio to TV and popular films.
