This week, our program is titled "A Man and A Woman." Songs about men and songs about women--all recorded and popular during the hi-fi era. These songs can take many forms. Women singing what it’s like to be a woman. Men singing what it’s like to be a man. Or one sex singing about the happiness, longing, or trouble the other sex can bring. We’ll hear from Blossom Dearie, Sarah Vaughan, Bobby Darin, Ann-Margret, and many more.
