ACTORS WHO SING!
VOLUME ONE! Years ago, the Rhino label issued a series of CD's entitled 'Golden Throats'. The songs consisted of hits and obscurities recorded by actors and actresses from over the years. Here is our take on that concept. We dug deep to find a few of these. Some trivia is sprinkled in with the music, and included is a mini-tribute to Johnny Crawford of Rifleman fame (pictured at left) who passed late last month. |

THE JACK GALE COLLECTION - SHOW #8
He began his radio career in 1944. He stayed in the business until the Lord took him home in 2018 at the age of 92. Jack Gale was not just one of the most creative disc jockeys in Top 40 history, he was a great friend and mentor. We include another of his 33 programs produced especially for Ultimate Oldies Radio as a bonus selection this week.
As Jack would say...'Whether you have your own teeth or not, keep smiling!' ARCHIVES BONUS SHOW!
