This week Mark Steyn features a song from a great rock band that became an easy-listening classic. We’ll hear it performed by Shirley Bassey, Ray Charles, Liberace and Nancy Sinatra. And then Nancy’s dad’s musical director will reveal how Frank rebuilt the song.
Produced by BRIAN SAVIN
People don’t have much time for politicians these days but don’t write them off completely. This week Mark Steyn tells the story of a politician who came up trumps – as a songwriter. The song has been beloved down the decades, as demonstrated by Bing Crosby, Marvin Gaye, Nat King Cole and The Beatles.
Produced by BRIAN SAVIN
MARK STEYN tells the fascinating stories behind some of the great standards of the 20th century – with classic performances, rare recordings and archive interviews with the people who wrote them.
