It's a 1995 release of some nifty WWII-era songs.
01. Helen Forrest, Harry James and His Orchestra - I Don't to Walk Without You, Baby (2:55)
02. Kay Kyser - Praise the Lord & Pass the Ammunition (2:34)
03. Jo Stafford - There Are Such Things (3:01)
04. Rod McKuen - I Fall in Love Too Easily (3:08)
05. Vera Lynn - The White Cliffs of Dover (3:04)
06. Soviet Army Chorus & Drum Corps - Katyuska, Towards the Unknown March (2:21)
07. Lena Horne - You Don't Have to Know the Language (2:57)
08. The Andrews Sisters - Pennsylvania Polka (2:49)
09. Elton Britt - There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere (2:44)
10. Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians - The Marine's Hymn (2:33)
11. Noel Coward - Don't Let's Be Beastly to the Germans (3:13)
12. Ambrose & Anne Shelton - Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer (2:49)
13. Paul Weston & His Orchestra, Jo Stafford - I'll Be Seeing You (3:32)
14. The Soviet Army Big Band - The Allies March (1:45)
After hundreds of hours adoring songs of the big-band era, I had honestly never before heard Tracks Seven or Eleven. Of course, like all normal types, I would have been glad to go on not hearing Rod McKuen’s breathy, weepy exhalations.
Tracks Six and Fourteen, songs by our OTHER allies in WWII, are interesting too.
See you on Monday for our final week of this year's JULY SPOCKEBRATION!
