Until I pulled together material for this specific show, I never knew just how many all-time classic songs were first published 1927-1928.

The number of timeless evergreens that date from that year is mind boggling, especially when you consider how many of these songs retain their original luster. I’m fond of saying that great songs never get old, but this show offers the best proof for that axiom that I’ve ever assembled, and it happened somewhat by accident, as I compiled the list for this series in chronological order.

Featured tracks include:

My Blue Heaven – Gene Austin

My Heart Stood Still – Ella Fitzgerald

Ol’ Man River – Paul Robeson

S’Wonderful – Helen Merrill

Sometimes I’m Happy – Joni Mitchell

Stardust – Frank Sinatra

Stardust – Vic Damone

Strike Up the Band – Ray Charles

Thinking of You – Sarah Vaughan

Thou Swell – Nat King Cole

Embraceable You – Charlie Parker

I Can’t Give You Anything but Love – Louis Armstrong

I Wanna Be Loved by You – Helen Kane
