About this listen

There were a lot of singers and comedians on the air during radio's classic era. Not only that, but you had singers who told jokes, and comedians who tried to sing. For example, there's Frank Sinatra, you'll hear the singing and acting superstar on his CBS radio show in 1945, getting sighs and laughs. Comedian Jimmy Durante started on radio in the early 1920s, and had a movie career, but he would sing and play piano on his NBC radio show, you'll hear an episode from 1948. Phil Harris was a popular musician, songwriter and comedian, who teamed up with his songstress wife Alice Faye to do a radio sitcom, the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. We have a 1949 episode where Phil tries to break into television.
