Boop-Oop-a-Doop 
The return this week of the 'boop-oop-a-doop' girl, Helen Kane. By way of a slight contrast from the cute and sweet, to the sophisticated and beautiful voice of Canadian-American actress/singer, Deanna Durbin. Staying with the ladies, we feature Patsy Cline and a young Teresa Brewer. All this plus Tony Bennett on Happiness Street, and a rockin’ 1935 Decca recording from James Kok.

The Rhythm Boys - "My Suppressed Desire" 1928 - Columbia, 1928.
The Rhythm Boys were an American male singing trio consisting of Bing Crosby, Harry Barris and Al Rinker. Crosby and Rinker began performing together in 1925 and were recruited by Paul Whiteman in late 1926. Pianist/singer/songwriter Barris joined the team in 1927. They made a number of recordings with the Whiteman Orchestra and released singles in their own right with Barris on piano. They appeared with the Whiteman orchestra in the film King of Jazz (Universal Pictures, 1930), in which they sang "Mississippi Mud", "So the Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together", "A Bench in the Park", and "Happy Feet". They are best remembered for launching Crosby's solo career, one that would make him the greatest song charting act in history and one of the most influential entertainers of the twentieth century.

P.S. I love you
A rarity in the show's line up this week, with some jazz accordion from Eric 
Winstone. Established in 1920, The Benson Orchestra Of Chicago serves up a hit from 1925. And, British vocalist Al Saxon belts out the 1959 theme song from the Peter Sellers film 'I'm Alright Jack'. All these gems and more, with The Hilltoppers providing the extra Sunday morning romance.
