Shall We Dance (118)

 
Atomic Age logo with an illustration of an elegant couple dancing. Text reads

Music and dancing go hand in hand. Melody and movement. A swinging tune that gets you to move your feet. The magic of gliding across the dance floor. Or holding someone close for a slow number. This week, we're featuring songs from the hi-fi era about dancing in general as well as fun numbers about specific dance styles. We’ll hear from Tony Bennett, Pearl Bailey, Jackie Gleason, and many more.
