This was the "American Idol" of the 1930's and 40s. Frank Sinatra, Beverly Sills and many other superstars, were "discovered" here.

  • At 1:01, "As you'll soon see..." It's radio; how can you see?

  • The show was done in front of a live audience. So it makes total sense.

  • Thanks for the memories.

  • You are most welcome!

  • Great Video tank you.

  • at 1:45 - "wheel of fortune?" Didn't they take that phrase to television and use it for some game show or something?

  • At 1:45 - "wheel of fortune." - Where have I heard that phrase before?

  • I love hearing the videos with Major Bowes and his guests as I am a direct descendent of Major Bowes.

    My great-grandmother was a first cousin of MB. We always heard stories of him from her and my mom back in New York.  Thank you so much for all the videos on You Tube.

  • If not for Major Bowes, the world would not have heard of Francis Albert Sinatra.
