Andy Mansfield and America's Popular Music and Turn back The Clock
Thomas Whetston, AFRTS archivist writes about...
America’s Popular Music a show broadcast out of Hollywood and hosted by Andy Mansfield. As the title suggested...and dictated...the program was an ensemble of dedications towards some of the big names of the early days. Count Basie, Artie Shaw, and others of their notoriety were reflected in schemes of swing. Andy Mansfield loved his oldies, but when you start doing an oldies show in the 1950s we hear big band and before. His first show was with his wife but always it was some of his favorites from his collection. Andy and Virginia Mansfield share some highlights of their record collection. Andy also did a great job with the oldies of the past decades in the 50s with a similar show "Turn Back the Clock" with his wife Virginia.
