Product Description

As regards record sales, the battle between the orchestras of Tex Beneke and Ralph Flanagan was won decisively by the latter during the years 1949/50. Tex who was leading the official Glenn Miller Orchestra was a victim of a policy decision made by the moguls at RCA who wanted to teach artists eager for an increase in fees a lesson. Ralph Flanagan and Tex Beneke have fought this battle before on CD, on Sounds Of Yesteryear SOY 789, The Duel Of The Dancebands, but that was a fictional fight. This is the real thing! These are 78s and 45s which young Americans went out to buy in 1949, The records heard on the radio and played on jukeboxes.
