GREETINGS friends, neighbors and Sinatra fans worldwide! You are at the right place at the right time... you are AT THE RITZ! I'm Jeffrey Williams, your virtual host, and we are here 24/7 with our new format after celebrating over 20 years on the radio. For many of those years, loyal listeners have requested more Ol' Blue Eyes. Well now At The Ritz! is all SINATRA!
We invite you now to take a break, stop what you are doing and relax for an hour with "The Voice!"' We're happy you joined us and as Frank would say, 'Start Spreading the News!"
An early recording from Columbia, "Dream," starts
each show, and Sinatra's theme song, " Put Your
Dreams Away" closes each show.
We begin each program with Frank Sinatra's early big
band years from 1939 through the early 1940s when
he was featured as a boy singer with the Harry James and Tommy Dorsey Orchestras. Remember big band
dancing and seeing Frankie at Bridgeport, CT's Ritz Ballroom?
All or Nothing At All Harry James Orch.
From the Bottom of My Heart Harry James Orch.
I'ts a Lovely Day Tomorrow Tommy Dorsey Orch.
Call Me Devil May Care Tommy Dorsey Orch.
We now turn to "Songs by Sinatra"... the years 1940s radio listeners tuned in even though they couldn't see
his 'Young Blue Eyes!"
