Singer Annie Ross remembers Drummer Sonny Payne who was born on May the 4th, 1926 and Singer Helen O’Connell remembers Tutti Camarata. The theme this week is “Dancing!”

More swinging performances from across the years and around the world spotlighting the finest crooners, songbirds, small groups, big bands, orchestras and instrumentalists. Also, we’ll be meeting two more witnesses to musical history from Graham’s archive of interviews:
In part one, Singer Annie Ross remembers Drummer Sonny Payne who was born on May the 4th, 1926; And in part two, Singer Helen O’Connell remembers arranger Tutti Camarata who was born on May the 11th, 1913. And Graham’s musical theme this week is a celebration in words and music of… “Dancing!”
