Vintage Radio Music Playlist: 1930s & 1940s Songs

I was born in 1937 so I REMEMBER this music being played on our big radio in our living room. Thanks for the memories.

I love imagining my grandparents dancing to this music. They met at a clandestine dance in northern France during the Nazi occupation. Social gatherings were forbidden but that didn't stop the young from finding joy in the midst of a terrifying time. They literally risked their lives for joy. Good for them. I wouldn't exist without their courage.

[@Redsk8tr]

What a wonderful story for you to share! It reminds me of Swing Kids. Let's hope we don't ever have to hide from the authorities to enjoy our national culture.

[@dodalton1]

@@Redsk8tr Had forgotten about that movie. What a throwback. Nazis are proof that the human mind (combined with fragile ego) is weak and easily manipulated.

My parents were also married in 1943 when my Dad was home on leave from the Royal Navy. I grew up with his collection of 78rpm records which I spent hours playing on his old gramophone.

When I was 16, I had a girlfriend who was 2 or 3 years older than me. She picked me up at night and went to "old style" jazzclubs with me. Even with costumes out of that aera. So that style became "music of my youth" instead of pop songs and charts. =D

I'm 73 and inherited a lot of old 78rpm records from my late father, including many like these. All through my youth I played them and still enjoy listening to music from this era. Many thanks for uploading these - why don't men and women still dress as elegantly as in those days !

[@sophiepooks2174]

"why don't men and women still dress as elegantly as in those days" Clothes today are more practical but lazy and slovenly, we live in a disposable society where not much is made to last that long anymore. For the life of me I can't understand why many today want to wear such unflattering baggy clothing and tight leggings made mostly out of polyester plastic and cotton in hot climates I would say a lot of the look is influenced by athletes, Hip hop, gangster rap etc. One guesses for a mostly time poor generation who want to show that they don't give a damn especially after Covid 19, many have no time for clothes irons and too lazy to think about what they going to wear and don't care, personally if it is the 'end of times' I would rather go out in style but guess I am a freak. Could be what people from the past would see as lack of style and class is just one generations taste, they worship the ethos of certain corporations over individuality, prefer convenience and attempt to differentiate from the last generation. I know this; anyone who takes pride in their appearance today will likely be stared at, even mocked, bullied seen as; 'attention seeking' or wanting to "be special" every generation has it's ideas good or bad.the live under the illusion we are free when really society dictates what is acceptable in the times we live. I love the music and style of this era pre WW2, the world back then seemed to be more simple/ better/ most people seemed happier/were allowed to be more gentle/more civilized/ genuine/with more freedom in someways but in many ways it wasn't, a lot was great back then depending on where you lived and your station in life, not everything back then was great, somethings today are definitely better while others suck.

[@rohsek7298]

I love this era of music and surface level aesthetics. But fashion back then for women was hardly practical. Having to wear heels for any job they managed to get was not only painful but dangerous. I appreciate your admiration for modest fashion and I'm not a fan of today's outfits which seem like one trip and the person bares all to world lol, but comfort should always be prioritised over looks. Women have had to fight for a long time to get many privileges men always had, and taking control of our personal fashion tastes is but one of many things we want to make our own choices on!
