Atomic Age Cocktail Party
Saturdays at 11 PM and Sundays at 10 PM
Coming up, on The Atomic Age Cocktail Party, Blame it on the Bossa Nova! In the 1960s, the Bossa Nova was all the rage and just about everyone wanted to get into the bossa action…which led to some really wonderful and some really interesting recordings. We’ll hear from Eydie Gorme, Paul Anka, The Hi-Lo's, and many more.
