 Rating:  - GI JukeboxThis is an excellent collection of the nostalgic songs from World War II. I was born in 1935, so was very young when this music was the rage. However, my parents managed a boarding house for young military men stationed at what is now Ellsworth AFB, SD, and their wives. The wives spent the long days playing the piano and singing some of these songs. It is a time in my life that I will cherish always. Rating:  - G. I. JukeboxCollections dealing with World War II abound; this is a good introductory one. Nothing out of the ordinary here (although Rudy Vallee's "As Time Goes By" is an unexpected treat, along with the Merry Macs' "Mairzy Doats"), but recommended for those who want a general overview. Rating: - excellent compilation of popular WWII music.born in 1961, i, until recently, did not get much enjoyment from the popular music of the forties. as a passionate audiophile geek, i love exploring music of all the decades to which there is recorded sound. though my first flirtations with hits of the 40's did not go over to well, i did not give up. i came back to that decade. it was rhino records wonderful two volume collection "songs that got us through WWII," that really turned me around. i now find myself getting lots of pleasure from the popular music of this era. this collection: "G.I.

Another lady at the party had me order it for her as well. I really liked the selections, and I'm 25 years younger than those ladies! Rating: - "dream come true for nostalgic music collectors"This probably is one of the most thorough single disc collections of World War II hits ever assembled. Many tracks related - "THERE'LL BE A HOT TIME IN THE TOWN OF BERLIN (WHEN THE YANKS GO MARCHING IN)" with Bing Crosby and The Andrew Sisters - "COMIN' IN ON A WING AND A PRAYER" performed by The Song Spinners, both tracks have World War II related themes. A few stand outs - "MAIRZY DOATS" an original Merry Macs 1944 hit, not available on many compilations - "CANDY" has Johnny Mercer, Jo Stafford and The Pied Pipers with this 1945 Chart Topper. Songwriter Johnny Mercer has five of the eighteen tracks from his long career represented on this excellent Hip-O Record compilation, each with the original artists and version. ... Read More: |
