Songs Of Our Times - Song Hits of 1940

Through SONGS OF OUR TIMES we recapture a bit of yesteryear ... a nostalgic mood, a memorable event, or a milestone that changed our lives. Following are some highlights to help jog your memory:

1940-Democracy was threatened. Japan controlled China. Winston Churchill made his famous "blood, sweat, and tears" address.

The infamous "Murder, Inc." was uncovered in Brooklyn. Roosevelt defeated Willkie and started his third term.

The Road To Singapore starred Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. Richard Llewellyn wrote How Green Was My Valley and Hemingway gave us For Whom The Bell Tolls.

And these are the hit songs of the year ... Remember them?
