  • Jo April 2019.PPP
    An alphabetical listing of her studio recordings, including recording dates, matrix numbers and, when known, dates first issued. Compiled by Jim Marshall, and updated April 2019 I first produced a Jo Stafford discography ‘way back in 1995, encouraged by the late Tom Colborn who probably knew more about Jo’s career than the lady herself. Tom had already done much of the groundwork and, knowing that I’d acquired a computer - an early Amstrad - suggested that I take over the task. I was well into my research when the indispensable "In Tune" magazine started publishing its own in-depth listing of Jo’s huge catalogue of recordings. The work put into that by Brian Henson, Colin Morgan, Robert W. Rice and others was an immeasurable help. My thanks also go to Ken Seavor, John Ridgeway, Lucas Tuinstra, Jeff Lasbury and Ray Purslow plus, of course Jo Stafford and Paul Weston , all of whom contributed to Tom’s original research. More recently I’ve had important help from Michel Ruppli, Tim Weston, Robert Rice, Richard Weize and Adam Daff resulting in what I like to think is an almost “complete" alphabetical listing of Jo’s commercial recordings, including her work with the Pied Pipers and her alter egos, Cinderella G. Stump and Darlene Edwards, not forgetting Jonathan! (Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone!) Apart from a handful of never-ever issued Capitol and Columbia tracks, almost all Jo’s studio recordings seem to have been reissued on CD and are probably still in print. In fact, the seemingly relentless reissue of Stafford CDs, mainly in the UK, is proof, if proof was needed, of the lady’s long-lasting popularity.

Jimmy Dorsey OrchestraTM Jimmy’s musical training began when he was a young boy in Pennsylvania. Along with his brother Tommy, the talented young musicians joined Paul Whiteman’s Orchestra and at the same time they were recording many records under the billing “The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra”. Their band continued through the early thirties until a dispute over a tempo of a song separated the brothers for decades. Jimmy found himself an instant leader of the band that became the birth of the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.

  • Small Market Radio: a Case Study
    SMALL MARKET RADIO: A CASE STUDY A Thesis By John Harvey Carr December 1975 The University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee SMALL MARKET RADIO: A CASE STUDY A Thesis Presented for the Master of Science Degree The University of Tennessee John Harvey Carr December 1975 ABSTRACT The first commercial radio station licensed in the United States was KDKA, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in October 1920. Major metropolitan areas began receiving licenses for stations throughout the 1920's. However, few stations appeared in the rural areas of the nation until the late 1930's. One of those stations was WHUB, Cookeville, Tennessee, which began broadcasting service to the Upper Cumberland Plateau on July 20, 1940. M. L. "Luke" Medley, whose entry into the broadcasting industry almost proved disastrous, managed to survive the economic problems which confronted him during his first three years of operation. WHUB gained such a following throughout its coverage area that even though stations were licensed in all the adjoining counties except one, the station has enjoyed continued success in listenership and revenue. This study chronicles the development and subsequent success of WHUB from its earliest envisionment by Medley through application, hearings, early difficulties both with revenues and personnel, and to the ultimate success of the operation. v vi Coincidental to the chronicling of the" station's development is a lesser study of the movement of economic growth in the market area. The conclusions reached are that WHUB and M. L. Medley have contributed substantially to the growth of the small market broadcasting industry by furnishing others interested in the medium with a viable pattern on which to build their stations.

Featuring intricate designs and thematic images, the covers enhanced eye appeal and attracted interest. The music was arranged primarily for piano and included lyrics. From about World War I on, many covers included photographs of composers or performing artists, a trend that continued well into the 20th century. The covers helped promote sales of music and contributed to the popularity of individual songs, many of which were composed for Broadway shows and later also for motion picture musicals. Popularity was also heightened, especially during the 1930s and 1940s, by the performance of songs at live concerts and as dance music by orchestras such as those of Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, and Benny Goodman. In addition, songs were heard on radio broadcasts, phonograph records, and in films.
