Synopsis

Co-hosts Nick Clooney and Peter Marshall look back at the big band period of the 1930s-1950s, with vintage performance footage of the great singers - the boy "crooners" and the girl "canaries". Among those who got their start singing with big bands were Frank Sinatra (singing with the Harry James and Tommy Dorsey Orchestras, among others), Peggy Lee (with Benny Goodman), Doris Day (with Les Brown), Perry Como (with Ted Weems) and Jo Stafford (with Tommy Dorsey).
