40 #1 Hits of the 40's

"Fantastic CD's with the greatest music of the 40's. Will be used as background music for mother's 90th B-day but have a feeling many there will want the music turned up. I enjoy these songs as do my daughter and son-in-law! Many songs my children had not heard but are enjoying these CD's a lot!"
