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!

Some tricky trumpet playing this week from the amazing Jabbo Smith, making a Spanish connection. Legend Fletcher Henderson is featured with a truly all star band, recorded just before going on to bridge the gap between Dixieland and swing. There’s a swinging nursery rhyme for the kids, plus a BIG, symphonic tune-and-a-half from Ronnie Hilton, covering a Perry Como best seller.

It's another all-star line up for our Easter parade this Sunday morning. Eggs all in one basket for Toots Thielmans, then it’s spring songs from Benny Goodman and Dick Haymes. There’s one for the kids of 1951 from Spike Jones, and Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine are taking care of the Easter Parade.
