JACK JONES
Category: Vocal Gems
Jack Jones has been releasing great albums for decades, and is one of the smoothest, easiest singers of all time. Many of his sensational LPs are all now available on CD. A fantastic singer.
JUNE CHRISTY
Category: Real Vocal
The albums released by the "Misty Miss Christy" are among the best ever made. Many name June as their favourite singer; it's not hard to work out why - hear her and you'll be hooked too.
MAVIS RIVERS
Category: Real Vocal
A real shame that Mavis 's music is little heard these days, as she had a voice that compared to that of Ella Fitzgerald. Mavis released some truly sensational albums, now available on CD.
MIKE REDWAY
Category: Real Vocal
One of our truly great vocalists who has appeared extensively on radio and TV - Mike's voice is up there with the very best. Coupled with arranger Neil Richardson, music doesn't get any better.
RONNIE HILTON
Category: Real Vocal
Ronnie's was quite simply a very special talent. Typically, his less commercially successful songs are the ones that best demonstrate what a truly great singer Ronnie was.
VIC DAMONE
Category: Real Vocal
This is the chap that Frank Sinatra declared has the "best set of pipes in the business", and we wouldn't disagree. A rich, magical voice with such an amazing range - a true all-time great.
ALAN DELL
Broadcaster and producer
Vocal fans will remember Alan Dell's wonderful Sounds Easy show, but Alan has done so much for the cause of good music. A superlative producer who worked with the biggest names.
BENNY GREEN
Broadcaster
Jazz man Benny presented one of the most entertaining shows on radio for many years, and had an encyclopedic knowledge of music. Sunday afternoon's really are not the same without him.

Hubert Gregg: singer, songwriter, actor, broadcaster - so much talent! He kept fantastic vintage music alive as he said Thanks for the Memory every week. Very much missed.

One of the finest broadcasters of all times, sadly only given a late night Sunday slot for his hour of magical musical items. A true delight to listen to, one of the best shows on radio.
