2012: If you were to ask anyone under the age of 40 to identify the singing groups of the 20th Century - the Mills Brothers, Boswell’s or Andrews Sisters, and you may toss in the Pied Pipers, Modernaires and Ink Spots, you would undoubtedly earn a long, blank, questionable stare of wonderment. Needless to say, those unknowns each carved out a musical career of great stature over many years, reaching back a few generations during what was known to all as the Big Band or Swing Era, a time when the Great American Songbook was created, and developed from the1930’s through 1970 and a trifle beyond. For those of you who were fortunate enough to have lived through a part of this era and had witnessed one or more of their performances on the stage,on film, radio and television, and for those of you who didn’t, please stand by: you’re ON THE AIR... this is their story.
