Our Take

Ah, 1944, what a year for music! The hits were rolling in faster than a steam train full of swing dancers. Various Artists' compilation album "The Hits Of The Year 1944" is a delightful trip down memory lane, with some real gems hidden amongst the rubble.

First up, we have the crooning of Bing Crosby with "Swinging on a Star", a tune that will have you tapping your feet and dreaming of far-off galaxies. His smooth voice is like butter on a hot potato, melting in your ears with each note.

Next, we have the sultry sounds of the Andrews Sisters with their hit "Don't Fence Me In". These gals know how to harmonize like nobody's business, transporting you to a land of cowboys and open plains. It's the perfect song to blast while riding your trusty steed into the sunset.

And who could forget Vera Lynn's haunting rendition of "I'll Be Seeing You"? Her voice is like a warm hug on a cold winter's night, wrapping you up in a blanket of nostalgia and longing.

Overall, "The Hits Of The Year 1944" is a delightful reminder of a time gone by, filled with toe-tapping tunes and heart-wrenching ballads. So grab your dancing shoes and your best vintage dress, and let this album take you on a journey through the music of yesteryear. Cheers to 1944!
