Description:
2 CD set. This features the popular music of the World War II years 1940 45. The tracks have all been specially selected to tell sequentially the story of the war from the point of view of the ordinary G.I. It is amazing that so many songs were written which reflected their day to day lives, their hopes and aspirations. Here then is a potted history of that war in music by the great bands and singers who were contemporaries of those who fought, and the many who gave their lives to save the world from tyranny. Features Bob Crosby, Ralph Flanagan, Glenn Miller, Jerry Gray, Andrews Sisters, Vaughn Monroe, Ray McKinley, Cab Calloway, Tex Beneke, Jimmy Dorsey, Martha Tilton, Louis Prima, Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton, Johnny Mercer and others. |
