1946 Hits Archive


Mom and I finished the 1946 Hits Archive earlier today posted at the78prof's YouTube channel. Overall, it was a solidly good year! (I think it was 1948 that was a bit more "interesting" and "taste-specific.") 

For your reference: Billboard year-end top singles of 1946 and Billboard number-one singles of 1946.

Highlights:

All Through the Day -- Perry Como

Boogie Blues -- Gene Krupa (Anita O'Day vocal) 

Bumble Boogie Freddy Martin and His Orchestra with Jack Fina on Piano.
