Presenter：Colin Aitchison
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
Some mighty voices appear on this week’s line up. Peter Dawson takes us on a Floral Dance, and Tony Bennett plays the Stranger. Ray Noble gets up on his Crazy Feet with the New Mayfair Dance Orchestra. The Ink Spots are in charge of the coffee break. And, we have a wonderful tale as told by Rob Roubian with Cliffie Stone, who are... “Too Pooped To Pop”!
Presenter：Colin Aitchison
An outstanding VCT recording and arrangement from 1932, this week, from Billy Banks with Pee Wee Russel on Sax and clarinet (we also find out what Billy’s other superpower was!). We travel to 1925 with a very well known Irish tenor for a bit of a tear jerker written in the 1860s. Glen Mason, in the 50s, covers an already well covered rock n’roller, and Colin digs a up a big movie number by a much forgotten band leader that was at the top of the charts for 12 weeks.
