Command Performance is a radio program which originally
aired between 1942 and 1949 in the United States. The program aired
on the Armed Forces Radio Network (AFRS).
As the announcer said weekly, the show aired while troops of the
Military of the United States were "over there" in Europe.
The premise of the program is that troops sent in requests asking
for a particular performer or program to appear. The troops also
often requested ideas to be used on the program, such a as a musical
version of Dick Tracy or Ann Miller tap dancing in military boots.
Many, many top performers of the day appeared, including Jack Benny,
Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Dinah Shore, Fred Allen, Ginger Rogers,
Jimmy Durante and many, many others.
This collection of Command Performance Greats includes
