Description

One More Time! Music Of The War Years, Vol. IV 1941–1945 is a richly curated CD gathering twelve standout recordings from one of American popular music’s most emotionally charged eras. The tracklist reads like a who’s who of wartime entertainment: Nat ‘King’ Cole brings his effortless cool to ‘It’s Only A Paper Moon,’ Betty Hutton delivers the irresistible energy of ‘His Rocking Horse Ran Away,’ and Johnny Mercer’s perennially uplifting ‘Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive’ closes the set on a high note. Alongside these are equally memorable contributions from Jo Stafford, Harry James and His Music Makers, Ella Mae Morse, and Kay Kyser, painting a vivid portrait of the songs that kept America dancing and dreaming through the early 1940s…
