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!

This week, as clear as a bell, we've a recording from 1927 featuring a star of The Folies Bergère, with quite the story to tell. We have a summertime classic on a huge 12inch 78rpm disc from Artie Shaw and an all star band, a 1938 recording from the artist who had her name shortened by the record company to fit on the label, and a big theme from a Paul Newman/Orson Welles movie in 1958 - 'The Long Hot Summer'.

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.
