Command Performance was a war time variety show. Produced by the War
Department the show was broadcasted to the armed forces by short wave
transmission to troops serving overseas.
The list of stars who donated their talent and time reads like a who’s who
of Hollywood. Stars like Red Skelton, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Frank
Sinatra, Judy Garland, Eddie Cantor, Fred Warren, Joe Lewis, Kate Smith,
Henny Youngman, Fred Allen, Kenny Baker, George Jessel, Connie Boswell,
Eddie Cantor, Dorothy Lamour, Abbott and Costello, Pat O’Brien, Frances
Langford, Betty Grable, Jack Benny, Edward G Robinson, Mickey Rooney,
Don Ameche, William Powell, Gene Autry, Loretta Young, Spencer Tracy,
Lena Horne and many many more.
The troops were very appreciative of everyone’s efforts. Even when the
war came to an end, the show didn’t. Broadcasts were continued to the men
and women of the Armed Forces. There were more than 400 shows broadcast,
some were half hour shows, while others ran as long as two hours.
So pop the CDs in and enjoy the talents of the cream of the crop in
Hollywood. You have over 120 hours of listening entertainment contained in
better then 240 shows.
