Before he became a beloved radio personality in his own right, Abe Burrows was one of the most sought-after writers and "script doctors" in show business, working behind the scenes on classic programs like Duffy's Tavern, The Danny Kaye Show, and The Milton Berle Show. After a long career crafting comedy for others, he took a break to perform his own songs at nightclubs. Those original tunes proved so popular among the party crowd that he was invited to step in front of the microphone and host his own old time radio show. This rare collection captures the wit and musical charm of the Abe Burrows Show, sponsored by Listerine Toothpaste and broadcast from 1946 to 1947. Featuring 38 recordings spanning over 8 hours, this is an essential set for collectors of rare personality radio.
