Russell Davies celebrates the 80th anniversary of an influential Gershwin show and he presents three classic duets, including Gone Fishin' by Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong.
This week Russell celebrates the 80th anniversary of an influential Gershwin show with no less than five songs from the score - Bidin' My Time, But Not For Me, Embraceable You, Boy! What Love Has Done To Me and I Got Rhythm - and a further three songs that use the chord structure of I Got Rhythm.
Our search for the nation's favourite duet performance continues and Russell rolls out a further trio of classics - Dinah Washington and Brook Benton's Baby (You've Got What It Takes), Gone Fishin' by Bing Crosby & Louis Armstrong and I Remember It Well by Maurice Chevalier and Hermione Gingold.
The subject of memory in song winds up the hour with two more old favourites - Kern & Hammerstein's Can I Forget you, sung by Jean Sablon, and Flanagan & Allen's Down Forget-Me-Not Lane.
