Winter Walkin': Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Collect Chet Atkins' "Complete RCA Victor and Columbia Christmas Recordings"
It's for good reason that Chet Atkins remains one of the most revered names not only in country music but in American music itself.

Chicago in the '50s was overflowing with skilled bluesmen, vocal groups, gospel singers, not to mention the mom-and-pop labels eager to make a hit off the artists. There are the now-famous labels - Chess, Delmark, and Vee-Jay among them. But the Windy City was so teeming with talent (and entrepreneurial hucksters trying to launch their own careers) that small, independent labels were plentiful.

"Perry Como's Olde English Christmas" Comes to DVD with Petula Clark, Leo Sayer

Starting with The Chesterfield Supper Club's transition to NBC-TV in the late 1940s, the subsequent debut of The Perry Como Show on CBS-TV in the early 1950s,
