Since there are no controversial excerpts from “At Dawn We Slept” for today we need an alternative form of entertainment. I came upon a list of the Billboard Top Ten weekly lists for 1941. These are the best selling retail records. I’ll try posting them over the next few days and see how it works out. Let’s start with #10, 9 and 8 for the week of January 25. I found recordings for two of them on youtube but struck out with #8. If anyone wants to track it down and post it I would be grateful. Maybe we can fix you up with a free 12 week subscription to WWII + 70 years or something. So -

#10 Dinah Shore singing Yes My Darling Daughter

#9 The Glenn Miller band with Ray Eberle on vocals doing the really forgettable “Along the Santa Fe Trail”

#8 is the elusive “There I Go,” by Will Bradley. Jimmy Valentine vocals.
