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!

Lots of excuses to roll back the carpet and boogie this Sunday morning. Tony Aless is at the piano with a swinging Teddy Powell 1941 release, a song still popular, apparently, with partner dancers… in Finland! Fact. Our all acoustic rocker this week comes from 1925, featuring Clarence Williams and the blue five, but listen out for Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet battling out the solos. On the country side of things, Chet Atkinson is producing a sad one for‘Gentleman Jim’ in 1959. Plus, lots more as we explore the million sellers of yesteryear.

On this week's blooming VCT: Fresh from his holiday in Holland, Colin shares music from a vintage band he discovered there - The Ramblers - with one of their recordings from 1935 that also features an American sax legend. Sticking with the holiday snaps, there's the big 1929 tulip tune from Alfredo And His Band. A huge, cinemascopic number from 1957 brings vocalist Eugene Mumford up to the mic in front of Billy Ward And His Dominoes. And, close to Colin’s heart, the master of the slide, Jack Teagarden shows how it’s done on trombone, with a gentle swing arrangement of Stars Fell On Alabama.
