hits from the 20's-50's

[anglophile]

I'm looking for either a compliation album or good individual ones with music from the 1920's to 50's. One cd doesn't have to have that range.

I'm especially interested in the songs from the Jeeves and Wooster series.
I prefer recordings by the original artist. Thanks in advance

The Big Broadcast

The Big Broadcast, which has been on WFUV FM for like 35 years now (also on www.wfuv.org) plays "Classic Jazz and Pop" of the 1920's (even earlier, actually) through the 1930's. The host, Rich Conaty, has put together several compendia, Volumes 1 thru 4, so far, of his and his audiences' favorites. A great place to start.

Back around 1990, RCA issued a series of CDs called "Nipper's Greatest Hits". There was one or two cds for each decade from the 20s to the 60s...and beyond, I think.

I checked and found they are still available from the larger retailers like amazon.com at around $7.95 each. I have the whole set and think they are a good value.

Thanks for the suggestions but I need something that is on iTunes.

Or my online radio station, where you can hear music from 1925-1955.

As far as CDs, I suspect the best you'll do is a CD for each decade you're interested in (and it won't be long before you'll want much more than just a single collection per decade).

Do you have any CD's to suggest.

Hi Anglophile.

I know several of the songs from the Jeeves & Wooster series (Fry & Laurie, yah?)

I'll list them here so you can try find them:

Background tunes:

The Blue Room.
Anything Goes.
Mood Indigo.

Played by Bertie on the piano:

Nagasaki,
Minnie the Moocher.
Puttin' on the Ritz (rather BADLY!)
I Lift Up My Finger (and say 'tweet tweet!')
Oh By Jingo!
47 Ginger-Headed Sailors.
A Sunny Disposish.
Goosey Goosey.

Thank for this. iTunes has most of them.

I just discovered your radio station skyvue and love that I have another classic music source to listen to while at work! :eusa_clap
