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
The focus, this week, is on the Glenn Miller revival. In 1946, Glenn Miller's widow authorized a new band to be formed under the name The Glenn Miller Orchestra. Led by Miller's saxophonist and vocalist Tex Beneke, we hear from him plus Jerry Gray, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Anthony, Ralph Flanagan. And, of course, from the original Glenn Miller orchestra.
Assuming the roll of the doctor this week is Woody Herman. We’re soaking up the lush, cascading strings of Mantavani. And, we catch Bobby Darin in the bath! Plus, Colin takes a glance at the goings on in the year 1923... with a chance to feature some Eddie Cantor.

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.
