70 years ago. The world still at war. While the nation celebrated VE Day (Victory in Europe) the previous month, May 8, the war continued on with Japan in the Pacific.
Meanwhile, here in the United States, these were the most popular records that was played on the radio — coast-to-coast — during the winter-spring of ’45. They were America’s most popular TEN TOP RECORDS for the week ending June 2nd.
Certainly this was not the music of our generation, nor that of the present as well. But from time to time this website will bring light to a certain time in decades’ past. These were the bands and artists Americans found themselves enamored with. The ’40s era. The greatest generation? Many historians arguably would agree today it was.
