Pop Music Hits 1939-1945

The first in a series of 15 volumes documenting popular music in the UK throughout the 20th century. Covers the 700 biggest hits of the Second World War, including composer/music publisher details, films or shows the song featured in, chart position and period of popularity, and all the competing versions on record that were available for each song. The narrative also offers an insight into the life and times of the period, so the reader can gain a feel for the society in which the songs found success... it being often said that all pop music was a product of its age.
