[78-L] Resonance

[David Lennick]

I would disagree with a number of those "don't make it" names..Sinatra, Satch and Ella (and Dean Martin and Peggy Lee) can still be heard on PA systems and on soundtracks to many commercials. As for Al Bowlly, he was always a cult figure on this side of the world. When I took over programming a nostalgia radio show at CHFI in Toronto, my first orders were to "get Al Bowlly and Greta Keller the hell off the air" (they had accounted for the previous programmer's nightly orgasms).


The Beatles!?
