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
This week Colin explores the effects of the musicians' strike of 1942, which meant a two year ban on commercial recording, with jukeboxes and radio broadcasts taking over from musicians, leading to the rise of the vocalists. Acapella recordings became a big, big thing. The Bunny Banks Trio, The Pied Pipers, Dick Haymes, and the very first recording by a young Perry Como.
This week, Billy Murray joins Jean Goldkette and his orchestra with a four leaf clover from 1927, a big seller in the 1950s from a young man whose career lasted only 18 months, a properly “crazy” arrangement from Jeri Southern, and just as wild, we have the story of Robin Hood from King Louie! Plus, Colin takes a look at the year 1924.

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!
