Irving Berlin (1085)
The music of Irving Berlin is the focus of the program this week. He's one of the biggies when it comes to composers of work that makes up a big part of the Great American Songbook. Really, one of the cornerstones. Berlin, not to overstate it, was a huge presence in 20th century popular music. We’ll hear Berlin classics from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Tony Bennett, and many more.
