Between the Big Band years of the ‘30s and ‘40s and the onslaught of Rock ‘n Roll was a “Golden Age” of beautiful recorded music. It was a period when the great vocalists – Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Doris Day, Dinah Shore, Tony Bennett, Nat “King” Cole, and many more – sang the timeless standards of the American Songbook, accompanied by full orchestras and glorious arrangements by masters like Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins.


Join Frank King for a musical lecture where you’ll get to hear the standout songs of this Golden Era – including rare, seldom-heard recordings - and also learn some fascinating secrets about the singers and the songs.


Mr. King holds a Masters in Broadcasting from Boston University and a BA from Princeton. A lifelong devotee of recorded music, he formerly hosted music programs on WBUR radio. His lectures draw from the music and art from his personal collection of over 2400 record albums.
