The Impresarios: Two Generations: George Black and Sons

on BBC Radio 2

Michael Craig continues the stories of the men who create the world of entertainment.
"A Black show was always spectacular, beautifully dressed, very good decor and always a great deal of comedy - George was a man who appealed to the masses. You know when I originally took Vera Lynn to George Black and Val Parnell, Val was not really in favour, but George was the man who said, 'Val, this is the type of girl who appeals to our type of public.' He was a man who had that judgment. A great man of the theatre." (LESLIE MACDONNELL)
with the voices of Arthur Askey, Alfred Black, Pauline Black, Dan Collins, Bud Flanagan, Pat Kirkwood, Leslie Macdonnell, Eric Morecambe, Ernie Wise, Elsie and Doris Waters
