| | Description: | America's Greatest Hits 1942 is a compilation of 85 pop tracks released as 4-CD on 6 Jan 2017. America's Greatest Hits 1942 includes a.o. the following tracks: â??Glenn Miller & His Orch. & Tex Beneke - Chattanooga Choo Choâ?, â??Freddy Martin & His Orch. - Piano Concerto In B Flatâ?, â??Glenn Miller & His Orch. - A String Of Pearlsâ?, â??Kay Kyser & His Orch. & H. Babbitt - White Cliffs Of Doverâ? and more. - .. 1942We continue our popular and successful series devoted to the biggest chart records of each calendar year in the early chart era as we focus on 1942, the second full calendar year of the Billboard Best Sellers chart - the chart was launched in July 1940. This great value 85-track 4-CD set comprises every record which appeared in the Best Sellers Top 10 during the year - the chart was restricted to ten places in those days. The big names of the swing era were very much in evidence, and the year started with Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo" at No. 1 and finished Dinah Shore's "Dearly Beloved" with occupying the top spot. In between, a host of other big names made their presence felt - Jimmy Dorsey, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, Bing Crosby, Benny Goodman and others - alongside many highly collectable lesser-known records by some artists we don't hear too much about these days like Kay Kyser and Alvino Rey. It makes for an intriguing and very entertaining musical snapshot of a year when the USA had become fully embroiled in WWII and there were plenty of patriotic and sentimental wartime hits to give a period flavour, with prolific hitmaker Glenn Miller epitomising that particular strand. It includes a 10,000+ word booklet with a commentary on every record as well as full discographical and chart information | | | No. of tracks: |
