THE PHANTOM DANCER
Tuesday 02/09/2003 10:30AM-12:00PM

Your weekly mix of dance bands from live 1920s-50s radio. This week, lotsd of live swing and dance from 20s-50s ballrooms and cafes and 2 pop paeans of praise for Soviet dictator, Josef Stalin. The first was penned for an Australian-Soviet solidarity rally held at Sydney Town Hall in 1944. We hear two versions. Both sung by Joan Blake. One is from a 1944 Songs of Australia aircheck, and the other, a commercial release with swing band George Trevare and his Australians. Our second ode to Stalin is an American tearjerker based on a quote by Soviet premier Molotov to US President Roosevelt. "I Came Here To Talk for Joe." is sung by Martha Mears over a 1942 KNX Los Angeles Victory Belles show, backed by Bea Turpin and her Ten Jills of Jive. Presented by Greg Poppleton. Enjoy.
