Paul Whiteman

Forever Tops

Who

English · Radio, Music

Paul Whiteman was a prominent bandleader whose radio programs brought orchestral popular music and jazz-influenced arrangements to listeners. This recording is identified with Forever Tops, a program featuring Whiteman.

Whiteman’s broadcasts centered on musical performances, with the orchestra’s polished sound and popular repertoire at the heart of the listening experience. The title also includes “Who,” which may identify a segment or episode, but the supplied information does not establish its role.

The appeal is the chance to hear a mid-century radio music program shaped by Whiteman’s bandleading: arranged ensemble playing presented in the direct, intimate setting of broadcast radio.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
