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!

Jumping to the 1950s, we have a number one UK hit for a very young Cliff Richard and the Shadows, and we dive into the mailbag with a request for a very fine trumpet player covering Fats Waller.
