Liner notes:
Lady Emma was written by two Torontonians, Doug Randle (music and lyrics) and Ron Solloway (book). This original musical was commissioned for broadcast on CBC Tuesday Night by Bob Wagstaff, assistant supervisor of CBC radio’s Light Entertainment department in Toronto.

Randle and Solloway started to work together on the musical in September, 1967 and Lady Emma was ready for recording on May 15, 1968.

Doug Randle is a well-known composer and arranger who has worked in Winnipeg, Vancouver, London and Toronto with such stars as Noel Coward and Tessie O’Shea and such internationally-famous orchestras and singers as The 101 Strings. Ron Solloway has acted in and directed many local Toronto dramatic productions and has written and directed three stage plays.

Lady Emma’s historical subject is Sir William Hamilton, the English Ambassador to Naples in the 1790s. Their happy marriage was ended by the amorous exploits of Lady Emma Hamilton and Lord Nelson which created an international scandal during the reign of George III.

Lady Emma is the first Randle-Solloway musical— they are now working on another.
