Sunday Swing Shift
Best in popular music of the ‘20s, ‘30s, and ‘40s.Hosted by
Roll up the rug from the kitchen floor, grab your partner, and hang on tight. Lloyd and Melissa will get your feet in gear with the best in popular music from the sometimes neglected 1920s, ‘30s, and ‘40s.
Familiar performers range from the mellow but swinging Big Band sounds of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Guy Lombardo, and Artie Shaw to the frenetic frolics of Woody Herman and Louis Prima to the pitch-perfect phrasings of Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, and Ella Fitzgerald. From the slightly scratchy but compelling sounds of Louis Armstrong, Johnny Mercer, and Fred Astaire to the cool, smooth, melodic croonings of Nat “King” Cole, Rudy Vallee, Vaughn Monroe, and Frank Sinatra.
All of this punctuated with gem after gem from lesser known “greats” like Earl Burnett, Billy Thorburn, Smith Ballew, Johnny Marvin, Kay Kyser, Teddy Wilson, and Jack Payne.
Get up, get movin’, and get happy with Melissa and Lloyd and Sunday Swing Shift.
