The name of the day was Louis Prima. The format was big band, the year 1939. From September 21st (that is just 20 days after Germany invaded Poland, which is said to have started World War II)
Fortunately someone recorded an entire day on US radio, and that included a full hour of pop music. While we think of 1939 as very long ago the music is still fresh. So listen now to number 19 of Complete Broadcast Day Series, it includes half an hour of a young Louis Prima. (Copyright expired)
