I need your help people
My father want's me to be in charge of music for Christmas Day which is fine by me.
Then he says do you have any 1940's or 1950's popular music.
I says to him I don't have any 40's or 50's music.
I have 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and today popular music.
He says I want you to find out anything you can about 40's or 50's popular music and find out if we need to buy anything.
So far I have searched and found nothing much.
I so desperately need your help
Any help much appreciated ------------- jon 89 |

In the 1940's they liked Swing and Jazz - the Jitterbug, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, .....Vera Lynn, George Formby....? yes he was the biggest star in the 1940's !
In the early 1950's Swing and Beatnik Jazz - cool Daddy- O was king, balledeers and crooners, then the tidal wave of Rock'n'Roll, the Jive, first a trickle, then a stream hit the charts - by mid-fifties Bill Hayley, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly (they all had to have a "y" or "ie" on the end of their name) Tommy Steele, Eddie Cochran, Doris Day.

| I assume you need advice specifically about Xmas music from those decades. Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, or any number of compilations of Xmas music from those decades, like, say, a "Big Band Christmas" or "Swingin' Christmas" or "Crooner's Christmas". |
