 From Those Were The Days

4/28

1947   Studio One on CBS was first broadcast. The show was full of great
stars, but no sponsors. CBS dropped Studio One after a year on the air.

4/30

1945   "How would you like to be queen for a day!" That opening line,
delivered by host, Jack Bailey, was first heard on Mutual on this day.
The first Queen for a Day was Mrs. Evelyn Lane.

1945   Arthur Godfrey began his CBS morning show. His theme was Seems
Like Old Times. Arthur Godfrey Time ran until this very same day in
1972. Godfrey's show used live talent and not records. His popularity
with listeners was the major reason that several sponsors gave Godfrey
the freedom to ad lib their commercials and, from time to time, joke
about the products as well.

5/1

1931   Singer Kate Smith began her long and illustrious radio career
with CBS on this, her birthday.  The 22 year old Smith started out with
no sponsors and a paycheck of just $10 a week ($167 in 2018 dollars) for
the nationally broadcast daily program. However, within 30 days, her
salary increased to a more respectable $1,500 a week ($25,055 in 2018
dollars).

AL JOLSON & THE KRAFT MUSIC HALL: LADIES OF SONG, PART ONE

Here's Part One of Kraft Music Hall on NBC with Al Jolson and featuring
shows with ladies of song. The first show is from September 30, 1948,
and features Judy Garland. Al sings four songs before introducing Judy.
They are typical Jolson melodies: "Is It True What They Say About
Dixie," "Red Red Robin," "Poor Butterfly," and "All Alone." Oscar Levant
also shares time with Al with repartee and piano virtuosity. A show
highlight is Judy's duet with Al on "Pretty Baby" after her "Johnny One
Note" solo. The show ends with Al's solo "When I Lost You," leaving us
wishing for much more from Judy as the show is a little late and ends
abruptly.

The second show of Part One of "Al and Ladies of Song" features Peggy
Lee and is from February 12, 1948. On this show Al introduces Peggy
after singing only two songs: "Red, Red Robin" (again) and "Rock-a-By
Your Baby With a Dixie Melody." Peggy sings ""Slow Boat to China" and
does duets with Al on ""People Will Say We're in Love" and "Birth of the
Blues."

Al's songs also include "Say It Isn't So" and "I Got Lucky in the Rain,"
both tunes from a 1930's Broadway Musical. The title of that show was
also the song title "Lucky in the Rain," and the setting for the show
was Paris in 1927. Music was mainly by Jimmy MccHugh, along with Hoagy
Carmichael, and others. Additional songs included "A Lovely Way to Spend
An Evening," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and "Exactly Like
You." Again, at the close of this Kraft Music Hall episode Jolson leaves
us wanting more songs, this time from the Musical as well as from among
the twenty-three number one charted songs he had during his career, more
than even Elvis and the Beatles had later in theirs.

Al used to boast, "You ain't heard nothin' yet!" And upcoming on
Classics & Curios there will be more of "Al Jolson and Ladies of Song"
on the Kraft Music Hall as Dinah Shore and Doris Day put in guest
appearances.

. Meanwhile consider the words of Anne Frank, a young lady with songs in
her heart who wrote while hiding from the Nazis, "Think of all the
beauty still left around you and be happy."
