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!

Colin takes us back even further in time with this week'a vintage recordings. We start off with the wax cylinder, introduced to the world in 1877, and it sparked a revolution as the first popular audio recording and playback format. Its popularity peaked from the late 1880s through 1909. We go back to 1907 for a recording by rock star of the time Enrico Caruso! And by way of slight contrast, from the era long after the wax cylinder, and even after the era of the 78rpm disc, we travel to India, where these discs seemed to still be being pressed and we hear from…The Beatles!
