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'.

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!
