The Entertainers
Meet the Entertainers: three
talented people who bring you the history of American Music from the golden
age of tin pan alley in a most entertaining way.
From the dean of pop composers, Irving Berlin, to the witty "bon mots" of
Cole Porter, the Entertainers will bring you the life and times of America's
great composers in both words and music.
You will hear the first song that made each one a legendary composer or
lyricist. You'll find out what inspired a certain song or lyric and how it
became a hit. The Entertainers will sing and play their way into your heart
and memory and bring back the golden age of music for you to enjoy.
