Music aficionado and band leader Colin Aitchison presents the musicians who were the huge, million-selling recording stars of an often forgotten era.
Before Bruno Mars, there was Bing Crosby, before the likes of Adele, there was Billie Holiday ... and before Justin Bieber ... well, where to start!?!
There’s some terrific music and stories from the ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s, plus a few laughs!

In this week’s set we feature the man who was a pivotal figure in the British Invasion because of his influence in the US in the late 1950s, and it’s a BIG song for a Sunday morning... your neighbours will love you for it. A recording from 1940 brings us the pretty new and cool sound of the Hammond organ from the man who probably made it most famous in jazz. And, especially for Mother's Day, a song sung by George Jessel from the film 'Lucky Boy' in 1929, tugging at the heartstrings.

A big feature this week from a record released in 1925. What a recording! Aileen Stanley is The Phonograph Girl together with Gene Austin, and they're getting sweet on each other. A cute (and very positive) number one song from a movie called 'Here Come The Waves' by Johnny Mercer and the pied pipers, a tea break song dedicated from Colin to producer Steve. And, hear a very different arrangement of a huge tune that's usually associated with Harry Belafonte and Stan Freberg, but this time it’s by The Tarriers in 1957. Plus, much more...
