If you love beautiful music, please subscribe. Music from the early 1900's up to the 1950's. In the playlists section, you will find many of the songs I've posted grouped by year of recording.

A NOTE ABOUT CHART STATISTICS: Before the 1940's, official music charts detailing the top selling records did not exist. However, music trade publications would include notices from record companies mentioning popular records, and other information that could be used to estimate a recording's popularity. As a result, modern researchers (in particular, Joel Whitburn in his Pop Memories book)have worked hard in combing through data of record sales, notices concerning popularity, and other historical artifacts from music publications to discern where the records of pre-1940 would have likely charted if official charts had existed. I feel it is interesting and important to use this data in my descriptions to give the listener a feel for how popular the songs, artists and recordings of the time were.
