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!

A big feature this week from a record released in 1925. What a recording! Aileen Stanley is The Phonograph Girl together with Gene Austin, and they're getting sweet on each other. A cute (and very positive) number one song from a movie called 'Here Come The Waves' by Johnny Mercer and the pied pipers, a tea break song dedicated from Colin to producer Steve. And, hear a very different arrangement of a huge tune that's usually associated with Harry Belafonte and Stan Freberg, but this time it’s by The Tarriers in 1957. Plus, much more...

Have you ever heard of Madame Tussaud's Dance Orchestra? Not a waxwork in sight, but a top flight, chart topping British band of the 1930s.
That's just one of a handful of curio's that Colin is digging up this Sunday morning. There's also the dizzy fingers of Zez Confrey from 1927, the original arrangement of the classic song ‘Fever’, The Mills Brothers, and the wild antics of the one and only Nervous Norvus!
