Aussie Radio Shows
Tribute To Jerome Kern
by
A Collection of Aussie Radio Shows No 94 pays tribute to Jerome David Kern, an influential American composer of musical theatre and popular music. Kern, who lived from January 27, 1885, to November 11, 1945, wrote over 700 songs for more than 100 stage works, including classics like "Ol' Man River" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." His contributions to Broadway and Hollywood musicals spanned over four decades, and his innovative musical style has left a lasting impact on the genre.
This musical tribute was broadcasted coast to coast on December 9, 1945, just weeks after Kern's passing. While some parts of the recording may be a bit noisy, it holds significant historical importance. The collection aims to honor Kern's legacy and the timeless quality of his music.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
