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!

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.

This week we find out how band leader Ken ‘’Snake Hips” Johnson got his nick name, we feature superb drummer and bandleader Ben Pollack and his Park Central Orchestra. And, what an orchestra, as Pollack had a superpower of spotting great talent… like Benny Goodman, Harry James, and Glenn Miller, earning him the title ‘Father of Swing’. Listen up for the big, romantic, baritone voice of Andy Russel with a 1944 best seller, and Harry Parry with his Radio Rhythm Club Sextet setting the tone for your Sunday morning.
