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!

‘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.

Lady Lizzie is a very cheeky story as told by Beth Challis back in 1928. It's a wonderful recording and very funny. There are a good few stories told this week. The Campbells Are Swinging according to Eddie Stone. Buddy Greco tells us about his dreams, and Ruth Brown belts out a bluesy tale of a gal who’s chosen the wrong man. And, speaking of the blues, a stand out record selection this week comes from the legendary Bob Wilber & The Wild Cats.
