Good morning, good afternoon and good evening Phantom Dancers wherever you are by your telescreens...

It's swing and jazz from live 1920s – 1960s radio and TV for your listening and dancing pleasure every week presented by Greg Poppleton.

My favourite singer and band for your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week. Dorothy Collins with then husband and bandleader, Raymond Scott, perform 'Singing In The Rain' on an NBC 'Your Hit Parade' show, 16 April 1955.

Hello Phantom Dancers,

The July 15 show of 1920s - 1960s swing and jazz from live vintage radio promises to be a little rip-snorter.

There's live radio swing and jazz by Jack Teagarden, Louis Prima, and very early George Olsen on the air in 1932. See the play list below.

And for your Phantom Dancer video of the week some Belgian swing from 1939, Boogy Boogy Boo.

Hello Phantom Dancers,

On this Tuesday's show, presented by Greg Poppleton, you'll hear a set of live swing and dance from 1936, a bracket of show tunes including the hilarious 'I Only Come Down For The Day' and a closing set of live 1950s broadcasts of music moderne by Charlie Parker and Shelly Manne – plus lots, lots more. See the play list below.

But how does the sound from live bands travel from the studio to your radio?

Pay special close attention to your Phantom Dancer Video Of The Week. 'On The Air', promoting Chevrolet's radio show in 1937, will show you how it is done in 10 music-packed minutes. Enjoy!

Gosh, Phantom Dancers, will there be enough radio show time to fit in Shorty Rogers Giants from a 1950s Tonight Show? I've held it over from two weeks ago.

Certainly we'll hear live swing and dance by Benny Goodman, Jimmy Joy and more. And commercial recordings by Australian singer/comedian Cyril Richards, who blazed a career in London theatre and Broadway; as well as Buenos Aires guitarist and friend of Django Reinhardt, Oscar Aleman.

John J Anthony will be back to dispense sound advice.

This week's Phantom Dancer Video of the Week is an extraordinary performance of 'I Cried For You'. It's sung by Helen Humes with Count Basie at the piano with his small orchestra including Wardell Gray. Brilliant. See it with today's play list on Greg Poppleton's Radio Lounge Blog http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2014 ... -aug-2014/
