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!

In this week’s set we feature the man who was a pivotal figure in the British Invasion because of his influence in the US in the late 1950s, and it’s a BIG song for a Sunday morning... your neighbours will love you for it. A recording from 1940 brings us the pretty new and cool sound of the Hammond organ from the man who probably made it most famous in jazz. And, especially for Mother's Day, a song sung by George Jessel from the film 'Lucky Boy' in 1929, tugging at the heartstrings.

Our 78s and album tracking this week takes us off in all kinds of musical directions. A classic ditty about chewing gum that we all thought we knew so well, is a little different in it's original form. Same for an early version of a hit strongly associated with Glenn Miller. Plus, listen to a top, moody and stylish sax feature from the Ken Mackintosh camp, and a massive early 30s hit about "the pride of our ally"! Plus, Colin has a hit single 'B'-side from the 50s.
