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
Among the goodies, this week, Colin tells us about the songwriters of a 1950s tune that are, now, more of a paper trail of where the money went, rather than a true indication of the people who actually wrote the song! We get all kilted up for the Eric Delaney band who go a roamin’ in 1956 on early vinyl still running at 78rpm. And, there's a 1936 recording featuring a wonderful, young, new singer… Vera Lynn.

Two very fine jazz musicians in the 50s were Homer & Jethro, but you might not pick up on it right away as you look through their records, because they produced many very funny comedy pieces in a full on country and western style, Colin chooses one of their finest and funniest this week, but you will surely hear their terrific musicianship. Another high point on this week’s show is American muso Jack Harris, who moved from the States to the UK in the 20s, and went on to influence the British dance scene in a big way, as you will hear in a swinging 1938 recording with steam coming off the phonograph needle.
