G.I. Jive (American Hits of World War II)
Price 18.14 USD
Had Desert Island Discs existed in 1940s America, it"s likely that our typical G.I."s short-list would have included many of these selections. There"s something here to meet every mood, whether upbeat or simply nostalgic: romantic ballads, swing tunes, rhythmic novelties, vocal numbers, swing specialities and period ditties. Unbeatable music!
