From the time Westinghouse started commercial broadcasting in 1920
through the end of the radio soap operas in the early 1960s,
hundreds of men and women performed on radio. Day after day, week
after week, these performers (e.g., Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, Kate
Smith, Lowell Thomas, Kay Kyser, and Bob Hope) became familiar
voices and welcomed guests in the homes of millions of Americans.
Actors, comedians, singers, commentators, announcers, emcees,
newscasters, preachers and various other artists all gave voice to
radio and 953 of them are covered in this unique reference work.
Performers Fran Allison, Les Paul, Johnny Desmond, Alec Templeton,
Don Wilson, Jerry Colonna and soap opera favorites Virginia Payne,
Betty Garde, Macdonald Carey, David Gothard, Page Gilman, and Jan
Miner are included herein, as well as Ezra Stone, Groucho Marx,
Will Rogers, and Frank Sinatra and hundreds more. For each, there
is a listing of their radio programs, birth and death dates (where
appropriate) and a biography that focuses on their work in radio.
It is heavily illustrated.
