Great voices that filled our theatres. Some of them couldn't sing at all. That never stopped them. They were among the greatest theatrical dancers of their time. And those that weren't even dancers persuaded you they were by force of personality.' Series devised and written by FRANK SALTER

The story of 60 years of popular music. A 26-week series.
'As I see it, after the 40s we had that terrible McCarthy period. I think rock 'n' roll was born out of that, not necessarily because of it, but because the medium - television - had become more widespread and the young people were able to evaluate their parents' background and history and songs and music, and absolutely refuted them.'
(MURRAY THE K - New York disc jockey)
