The first of four programmes in which Dave Gelly delves into the archives of the popular music press to find out what was being said at the time about future legends and long-forgotten crazes, the hot topics in the letters columns, the unbelievable prices in the adverts - all tied together with evocative music. Tonight, the music includes Danny Kaye , Gene Krupa and Frank Sinatra - and the strange tale of the hypnotised drummer.
