Meet The Beatles (1064)
On the show this time, we’re looking at the music of The Beatles. In particular, how artists of the hi-fi era approached this Fab Four musical tidal wave. As the old adage goes, if you can’t beat them, join them. And that’s exactly what many lounge artists did. We’ll hear from Percy Faith, Esther Phillips, The Johnny Mann Singers, Count Basie, and more.
