Great Classic Radio

I didn't review this on Goodreads because it's not a book. It's a compilation of radio shows from the 30s, 40s, and 50s featuring Frank Sinatra. His voice in this era is distictly different, lighter and more pure. He sings many of the standards in a simple direct way which set the standard for the time. I also love the banter of the guests and the old time announcers. Listening to this it's easy to imagine it being 1945 and the radio being the only media most Americans had access to. Lots of fun if you enjoy big band jazz with vocals.
