Russell Davies celebrates the greats of Tin Pan Alley, Hollywood and Broadway. Music includes Leon Redbone's Dancin' On Daddy's Shoes and Nat King Cole's Unforgettable.
A taster for the upcoming Judy Garland tribute on Friday Night Is Music Night, opens the show. Father's Day gives us Leon Redbone's Dancin' On Daddy's Shoes and Nat King Cole's Unforgettable.
A "lost for words" exploration brings us Russ Columbo, Doris Day and Jack Miller. And a farewell to Billy VerPlanck gives us two songs by his widow Marlene, before Julie London, Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra ease us out with three "easy" songs.
