Northborough resident John William Kellette hit it big with “Blowing Bubbles”
NORTHBOROUGH – When John William Kellette (1875-1922) wrote his song “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles,” he probably never thought it would quite reach international fame. Born in Lowell and later a resident of Northborough, where he came to live with his aunt when he was orphaned at nine years old, Kellette was a reporter, notably for the Worcester Telegram and Gazette from 1886-1902, and also a songwriter, composer, and actor. He was 34 years old when he wrote his first song. Although he wrote other songs, including “Bubbling Over” and “My Blue Bird is Singing Again,” his “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles,” released in 1919, sold five million copies and was sung in the Broadway production, “The Passing Show.” It has been recorded by everyone from British pop singer Engelbert Humperdinck to the punk band The Cockney Rejects.
