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!

An outstanding VCT recording and arrangement from 1932, this week, from Billy Banks with Pee Wee Russel on Sax and clarinet (we also find out what Billy’s other superpower was!). We travel to 1925 with a very well known Irish tenor for a bit of a tear jerker written in the 1860s. Glen Mason, in the 50s, covers an already well covered rock n’roller, and Colin digs a up a big movie number by a much forgotten band leader that was at the top of the charts for 12 weeks.

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'.
