HISTORIC
WAY-BACK RADIO – FEBRUARY, 1942
Seventy-four years ago. The world is at war. The United States declares war on Japan when Japanese Imperial naval forces bombards U.S. naval and military bases at Pearl Harbor from the air, just three months earlier, December 7, 1941.
Meanwhile, here in the United States, these were the most popular records that was played on the radio — coast-to-coast — during the winter of 1941-1942. They were America’s most popular TEN TOP RECORDS for the week ending February 27.
