He certainly did...at least in the U.S.  His Petite Fleur hit every jukebox
in the U.S. in the late 1950's.  It was pure jazz, though.  

Curiously, Chris Barber didn't play on that recording....it was of course
Monty Sunshine on clarinet.  Originally, I thought Chris was a clarinetist
as the single came up only as "Chris Barber's Jazz Band.   :>
