This series highlights the American Juke Box/Harlem Hit Parade/Race Record/Rhythm & Blues chart hits by a selection of the biggest stars of the 1940’s and 1950’s swing, jazz, jump blues and R&B scenes. Most of these performers have never had their biggest hits compiled in one place. Billie Holiday only had a handful of actual charted records when the Harlem Hit Parade was inaugurated but she had many pop chart entries as this collection amply illustrates. Like our other collections this features all the 78’s that were money-spinners on jukeboxes across the world.
