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's show was recorded on Friday the 4th of July in front of a live audience at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin. It’s part of a series of RTHK POP UP shows celebrating the world of vinyl and shellac recordings, plus, this week, there's live music from The VCT Syncopators, with Colin Aitchison on trumpet... and wind-up record player! There's plenty of music from the roaring 20s through to the 1950s, both on portable gramophone and live from the band.

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'.
