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.

‘Mon Homme” was a big 1920 tune in France, composed by Maurice Yvain, but we focus this morning on the English hit from 1921, a mighty recording by Ziegfeld Follies singer Fanny Brice. We feature a track, once again, from a modern line up playing vintage arrangements on vintage instruments: The Bratislava Hot Serenaders. Colin also digs up two big selling records of 1958 from Perry Como, as well as Billy Ternant & his orchestra, plus a country AND western swinger from Don Gibson in 1958.
