Jukebox Hits 1935-1946

We continue our series highlighting the American Juke Box/Harlem Hit Parade/Race Record/Rhythm & Blues chart hits by a selection of the biggest stars of the 1940s and 1950s swing, jazz, jump blues and R&B scenes. Most of these performers have never had their biggest hits compiled in one place. Billie Holiday transcended the boundaries of the markets of the day, enjoying success when the Harlem Hit Parade was inaugurated as well as having many pop chart entries, as this collection amply illustrates. Like our other collections this features all the 78s that were money-spinners on Jukeboxes across the world.
