Show Notes

IHTSB May 29, 2022 Today we’ll be listening to a selection of recordings made in the 1940s and 1950s for the Capitol Record label. This was a recording company set up in 1942 by singer-songwriter Johnny Mercer which went on to become one of the leading record labels in the music field. In the 40s and 50s it featured most of the big names in jazz and popular music. Johnny Mercer, who was an experienced songwriter, and a singer with a number of records to his name, was particularly qualified to run the company and invite leading artists to its recording studios. The first recording session took place in April 1942, and the label opened its first office in June of that year. On July 1, Capitol Records released its first nine records, and went on from there to become one of the leading record labels in the world. We listen today to recordings from artists like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Margaret Whiting and some of the many jazz groups that passed through its studios in its first two decades.
