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!

It's Vintage sounds of the summer this week, with Ethel Waters and a hot Irving Berlin song from the Broadway review As Thousands Cheer. There'sa 1958 recording for the Hallmark label from the Paul Newman movie The Long Hot Summer, and an amazing sounding record of Jack Payne and his orchestra, playing with precision and power in 1932. Plus, a 1931 hit revived in 1957 for the movie Bernardine... all based on a Sandy Beach.

One of the features this week comes from 1938. A special recording, in that it captures the moment when Artie Shaw successfully got Billy Holiday into the studio after a long time of asking, but there was a catch to the deal. Another king of swing features Helen Forrest who’s a bit bothered and bewildered, and from the swinging 1950s album Moonray, a fine performer who was just in Hong Kong, Sarah Hayes, who also says a quick hello to Colin.
