主持人: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 )
From an absolute STEAMER of a performance from Harry Roy and the band, to a ‘live’ jazz gem from Nina Simone, it’s another busy vintage musical wave, plus Colin has a VCT surprise tune for producer Steve, which may… or may not, make his Sunday morning, as it features both country AND western!
Sundays from 8.30am to 9am... only on Radio 3
This week, it's part one of a collection that are not just Vintage Chart Topping records of their time, but have also sold over a million, whether they reached number one on the charts or not. Listen out for Bessie Smith, Stan Kenton, Johnny Ray, The Ink Spots, and more. Plus...The Witch Doctor!
