About
Travel back in time to a television studio of the 1950s! Hear those famous Hit Parade tunes as well as themes from the biggest television shows (can you whistle I Love Lucy?). Flash back to Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, and the many other singers and songs introduced in the fantastic decade of the Fifties. You’ll remember all the game shows, commercials, and radio hits along with the dawning of rock ’n’ roll and Elvis. Jack Everly puts it all together for you with some incredible swingin’ guest artists and “a really big show” in the best Ed Sullivan tradition.
