The Street Singer Strolls Down Memory Lane

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

Arthur Tracy , the tenor superstar of the 1930s, celebrated his 94th birthday in June. In this programme he recalls episodes from his life - how seven years of near starvation led to a walk down the Atlantic City boardwalk with Al Jolson, the time he gave a command performance for Al Capone, and his audience with the Prince of Wales. And there are recordings of many of the wonderful songs.Producer Trevor Aston
