Jo Stafford was America's favorite pop singer of the 1940s and 50s; she had a real affinity for the Broadway songbook, and for the songs of Frank Loesser in particular. This week on BROADWAY TO MAIN STREET, we focus on Stafford's unforgettable voice and her renditions of classics from Where's Charley?, Guys and Dolls, The Most Happy Fella, and How to Succeed on "Jo Sings Frank (More or Loesser)." Plus some other Loesser rarities from Madeline Kahn, Jo Sullivan, and Frank himself.
