Original Hit Parade
"THE original American Hit Parade — top-line ,artists presenting the top American tunes-can now be heard by New Zealand listeners. Recorded by the Voice of America, Your Hit Parade is on the air from 2YD at 7.0 p.m. on Mondays and will soon be broadcast from other stations. Your Hit Parade is based on a survey of best-sellers in sheet music and gramophone records, and of the tunes most frequently heard on the air and on automatic slot machines-generally regarded as an authoritative indication of American taste in popular music. The artists heard in this new VOA programme are Eileen Wilson, Snooky Lanson, Dorothy Collins and the Hit Paraders, and Raymond Scott and orchestra provide the music. Popular music fans will not need to be told anything about the members of this team. Snooky Lanson, for instance, was vocalist with Noble, and Eileen Wilson was with Les Brown. Raymond Scott has written much descriptive jazz-Toy Trumpet, Twilight in Turkey, The Tobacco Auctioneer, Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals, and many other numbers,
