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!

There’s an old saying in radio; "the mic is always hot", meaning ‘live’, and this week once again it’s Colin Aitchison at the mic introducing a hot jazzer from Mike Daniels And His Delta Jazzband. We also feature a sizzler from the broadway review ‘Spice Of 1922’, on a one sided 78! Errol Garner plays his first 1954 version of what is now a standard, and a huge hit for him by the end of the decade when he re-recorded it for the masses. Theres the first hit for a young Dion and the Belmonts, and a 1947 recording by a performer who would later change his job in showbiz from band leader to music director for the Tonys, becoming the go-to man for big tv events and specials, winning many awards.

Check out couple of big, big tunes this week, that you might usually associate with other artists. The furthest back we travel is to 1929, with Paul Gibbons at the new electric microphone, Ford Leary from 1937, and the much more familiar Everlys from 1957, at the true start of their career. There's also Connie Russell, Glenn Miller, and Bunny Berigan. Plus, we've got the song with two titles from The Music Man.
