Great Radio Personalities in Historic Photographs

1982, paperback original. Dover is an impressive imprint that frequently reprints books of long ago. This particular title, however, is a new work, appearing here for the first time. 239 great b&w photos highlight this volume, presenting some radio personalities, many of whom have faded away into obscurity. But some of them remain focused in our minds. Here are Burns and Allen, Fibber McGee and Molly, Edgar Bergen, Arturo Toscanini, Cab Calloway, and dozens and dozens more. How about the ones that have faded away? Whispering Jack Smith, Stoop Nagle and Budd, and the Clicquot Club Eskimos. Nostalgic and very nicely done. The photos themselves, by the way, recall another era themselves, with great lighting and poses.
