My Record Collection
I am going to start randomly going into my record collection and grabbing an album and give some info about it and hopefully posting some of the songs.
Today we start with Charley Pride's 1971 album "Charley Pride Sings Heart Songs"
The album went to #1 on the Billboard Country chart but only to #38 on the Top 200 album chart. However it did produce what has become a country standard and Charley Pride's signature song "Kiss an Angel Good Morning". He made it to #1 on the hot country chart, spending the entire month of January in the top spot. This was his 8th #1 country hit and his first to his only song to Billboard Top 40 pop hit going to #21 and also reaching #1 on the Canadian country singles chart.

Golden Age of Radio - Duffy's Tavern
thanks to Bob Carmardella's podcast.
Duffy was never heard on the show, we have the tavern manager Archie, played by show creator and head writer Ed Gardner, (who speaks to Mr. Duffy on the phone each episode....but this one)
There was Miss Duffy, daughter of Duffy, played by different actress' in the 10 run of the show, including Shirley Booth (of Hazel fame and then wife of Ed Gardner) and Selma Diamond who was better know to younger audiences as Selma the baliff on the great 80s sitcom "Night Court".
Eddie the Waiter played by Eddie Green until his passing 1950 and Clifton Finnegan played by Charlie Cantor and later by Sid Raymond.
Archie was the brainchild of series creator Ed Gardner, but when he couldnt find an actor with the right accent he stepped and became Archie. Famous for his get rich quick schemes and malapropism this was one of the funniest shows on radio and ran on CBS 1941-42 then moved to NBC until the shows end in 1951.
A brief stint on TV did not prove successful in the 50s.
