5.0 out of 5 stars Music lovers -- get this book!, July 31, 2004
This review is from: Joel Whitburn's Pop Hits 1940-1954: Singles & Albums (Hardcover)
Indispensable reference!

Unfortunately, many "Music of Your Life" stations have left the radio. However, the Golden Age of music is alive in Joel Whitburn's books. Many of these songs will live forever. For example, my 4 year old daughter really likes Nat "King" Cole. With this book, it's easy to see Nat's other hits.

A lot of people are introduced to this type of music from today's movies. They don't realize the songs are from the 1940's- 1954's. With this book, it's easy to find the song, it's easy fo find the artist.

Lookup that favorite song, lookup that favorite artist.

I recommend this book highly!
