The Ginny Simms Show
D-Day Broadcast and the Victory Polka
von
The Ginny Simms Show features singer Ginny Simms in a radio variety program built around popular music and entertainment. Simms’s warm, polished vocals are at the center, offering listeners a snapshot of wartime-era radio variety.
This recording is identified as a June 6, 1944 broadcast, with the title pointing to D-Day and “The Victory Polka.” Its framing brings together a momentous day in the war and a musical celebration, giving the program a distinctly period-specific context.
Listeners can expect a performance-led broadcast rather than a single narrated story: the appeal lies in Simms’s singing and the blend of music and topical atmosphere associated with the program.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
