Philco Radio Time
Alec Templeton and Ethel Merman
von
Philco Radio Time is a variety program built around music, comedy, and guest appearances. This recording features pianist and entertainer Alec Templeton alongside singer Ethel Merman, bringing together Templeton’s musical wit and Merman’s powerful Broadway voice.
The program’s appeal lies in the contrast between lively musical performance and light entertainment. Templeton was known for combining piano playing with comic impressions and musical humor, while Merman’s brassy, unmistakable singing style made her a commanding presence in popular musical theater.
Listeners can expect a polished broadcast variety experience, with music at its center and two distinctive performers sharing the spotlight. The result offers a glimpse of mid-century radio entertainment shaped by virtuoso piano, theatrical song, and an easygoing sense of show-business fun.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
