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!
Every Sunday, 8.30am-9am
‘Mon Homme” was a big 1920 tune in France, composed by Maurice Yvain, but we focus this morning on the English hit from 1921, a mighty recording by Ziegfeld Follies singer Fanny Brice. We feature a track, once again, from a modern line up playing vintage arrangements on vintage instruments: The Bratislava Hot Serenaders. Colin also digs up two big selling records of 1958 from Perry Como, as well as Billy Ternant & his orchestra, plus a country AND western swinger from Don Gibson in 1958.

It's another transportation themed VCT this week, dealing with the likes of Flanders and Swan, Frankie Laine, Judy Garland and cheeky Max Miller. Also, the piano player who started off gigging where he could, while working at the Westminster Gas and Coke Company, and ending up with his own 1955 Cinemascopic short, showing off him and his orchestra with the hit record Stage Coach, featured on our Sunday morning ride this week. Hold very tight please!
