Music reviews of Songs That Got Us Through WWII
Music Review: Songs that are STILL getting us through!!

This wonderful music is timeless. There was never any music that can compare to the big band music from the 40s and it is so wonderful to listen to and sing along with. Great selection and great CD!!
Description of Songs That Got Us Through WWII
They may have rationed meat, milk, canned goods, and gasoline, but there was no limit to the musical talent during World War II. Morale-boosting sounds on the home front and "over there" were one of the Allies' most potent weapons. WWII gave birth to many of the 1940s' most popular artists and songs, as well as many of the most important independent record labels. Songs That Got Us Through WWII is the first of a two-volume series collecting the hits that kept the home fires burning and brought a little bit of America to the G.I.s overseas. Compiled and developed by singer/songwriter/music historian Billy Vera, Vol. 1 features many of the era's biggest artists, including The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, The Mills Brothers, The Ink Spots, Harry James, and many more.General CDs
