This great-value 72-track 3-CD set consists entirely of recordings which before 1940 were credited with a Top 20 chart position in Joel Whitburn’s “Pop Memories” or Elston Brooks’ “The Weekly Top Ten Tunes For The Last Fifty Years” books, or the Your Hit Parade chart, or appeared in one of the Billboard charts thereafter. It features most of his eighty or so career hits, including the No. 1s “The Wedding of the Painted Doll”, “I'll See You Again”, “Paradise”, “Night And Day”, “Stormy Weather”, “The Continental”, “Cheek To Cheek”. It’s a substantial, enjoyable and nostalgic journey through an era in the USA when pop music was an antidote to some difficult social, economic and political upheavals.
