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.

There’s an old saying in radio; "the mic is always hot", meaning ‘live’, and this week once again it’s Colin Aitchison at the mic introducing a hot jazzer from Mike Daniels And His Delta Jazzband. We also feature a sizzler from the broadway review ‘Spice Of 1922’, on a one sided 78! Errol Garner plays his first 1954 version of what is now a standard, and a huge hit for him by the end of the decade when he re-recorded it for the masses. Theres the first hit for a young Dion and the Belmonts, and a 1947 recording by a performer who would later change his job in showbiz from band leader to music director for the Tonys, becoming the go-to man for big tv events and specials, winning many awards.
