It's hard to catch a break when you're Fabolous. Though his skills as a manufacturer of blazing-hot street bangers and pop-crossover hits have not gone unnoticed by the hip-hop hype machine, the Brooklyn rapper hasn't come close to matching 50-Cent and similarly gifted superstars in the sales department. Which accounts for his decision, with album No. 4, to do somethin' about it. From Nothin' to Somethin' rounds up a massive herd of talent--Akon is here, and so are Swiss Beatz, Rihanna, Young Jeezy, Jay-Z, Lloyd, Junior Reid, Ne-Yo, and T-Pain. It's a little hard to locate Fabo on "Change Up," the Akon track, but otherwise he goes about spreading his Fabolousness throughout: "Diamonds," a bling-centric track with Jeezy, benefits from a borrowed take-it-easy Southern drawl, "Brooklyn" brings it home for New York with a spirit seldom seen since the East Coast/West Coast war was at its nastiest, and "Return of the Hustle" solidifies a career built on street cred with an asphalt-hot beat. Start to finish, but especially on the Timbaland-helmed "Make Me Better," production is top-notch. If there's a disc that can restore the fabulousness to being Fabolous, Somethin' is it. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

Best Cd Yet.......2007-07-19

I got this cd for the song Make me Betta, but the whole cd is great, I highly recommend this cd to anyone.

LOSO DOES IT AGAIN.......2007-07-19

I would have have to say I was pretty happy with this album. Probably not his best work, but definitely worth buying. From nothing to something definitely seems like it is intended to be a bit more commercial sounding than his last album.

Fab's has another hit.......2007-07-12

Don't know why people are giving this low stars if you don't like it then don't worry about it. Listen to the classic rap albums all day and cry about the new hip pop that is out today. Cry to yourself though and don't be bitter about Fabolous new album because it is good hip pop album. I recommend buying this hip pop album it is worth it. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Decent.......2007-07-11

Fabolous's 4th album is "From Nothin To Somethin". What I've always noticed about fab is that even though he tries to sound mainstream a lot he is still very underrated. Fabolous is right in same category as Trick Daddy & Mystikal. They can make good songs but their albums never really blow you away or make you say wow that's some tight s**t right there.

"From Nothin To Somethin" is a 15 track release with collaborations on all but 2 songs.

The album gets off to a pretty good start with "From Nothin To Somethin Intro", a decent opener that kind of sounds like a freestyle. the beat is crazy. And if the song was a little bit longer instead of just being an intro it would probably be one of the better songs on here. This album is basically the typical rap album these days. You got the songs where he constatly brags about himself ("Yep, I'm Back", "I'm The Man" feat. Red Cafe & "Jokes On You" feat. Pusha-T of The Clipse). As well as the songs for the ladies ("Baby Don't Go" feat. T-Pain, "Make Me Better" feat. NE-YO, "First Time" feat. Rihanna & "Real Playa Like" feat. Lloyd). You got the club bangers ("Diamonds" feat. Young Jeezy & "Return Of The Hustle" feat. Swizz Beatz). "Brooklyn" feat. Jay-Z & Uncle Murda has a great beat. But the hook is very dissapointing. It reminds me of "New York S**t" from Busta Rhymes's cd The Big Bang. The standout track for me is "Gangsta Don't Play" feat. Junior Reid. The beat is tight and Fab and J Reid deliver a solid street track. The only two songs that Fabolous really shows any hunger on are "Change Up" feat. Akon and the deep track "What Should I Do" feat. Lil Mo. And the bonus track "This Is Family" feat. Ransom, Freck Billionaire, Red Cafe, Joe Budden & Paul Cain is a solid posse cut. This album will go platinum but it isn't album of the year material.

My Top 5

1. "Real Playa Like" feat. Lloyd
2. "Diamonds" feat. Young Jeezy
3. "Change Up" feat. Akon
4. "Return Of The Hustle" feat. Swizz Beatz
5. "Make Me Better" feat. NE-YO

Honorable mention tracks

- "Gangsta Don't Play" feat. Junior Reid
- "Brooklyn" feat. Jay-Z & Uncle Murda
- "What Should I Do" feat. Lil Mo

From Nothin' To Somethin'.......2007-07-10

Definitely not his best but trust me it will grow on you. If you're a real Fab fan u will be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The problem with this album is not a lack of features got em (Lloyd, T-Pain, Akon, Jay-Z, Ne-yo, Red Cafe, Rihanna) or hot beatz got em (Just Blaze, Swizz Beatz etc.) but a lack of hooks. Brooklyn w/ Jay-Z was especially disappointing for that reason. But The cd does have at least 7 pretty good tracks and who can deny the kid with the Grammy grin? Hope this helps. Najwa >: <

Awesome CD.......2007-07-17

Rockin violins with a hip hop beat. The track Thunder is absolutely a individual work of art. If these guys could put together an entire CD with this new style they would be rockin wit stringz and rakin in the dough.

Nephew Loves It.......2007-07-05

We bought this as a birthday gift for my nephew who plays violin and he has had nothing but rave reviews to say about it. I have not heard it, but I know that he would recommend it to anyone.

amazing talent.......2007-07-04

I first heard this group watching Jack's Big Music Show with my 2 year old son, I've been hooked ever since. I'm not a big rap fan - but when you hear their musical genius you'll see why they are the next big thing.

Nuttin But Stringz Jams.......2007-06-27

The "Nuttin But Stringz" CD is an enjoyable journey into modern R&B music played with a classical violin twist. My two kids are studying violin and were getting bored with their lessons until "Nuttin But Stringz" woke them up to the violin as an instrument that is really "cool". We love the CD and cannot wait to see them on tour.

Hip Hop/Rap meets Classical.......2007-06-27

Incredible CD!!! After seeing these performers on Jack's Big Music show (on Noggin - with my 2 year old), I had to buy the CD. Insanely talented violinists, they are also passionate and strong rap artists as well. If nothing else, everyone should pick this CD up for its uniqueness and refreshingly new concept. My favorite CD purchased in years!

American bands have never gotten in the habit of their British counterparts, who tend to release lots of extended singles filled out with not-meant-for-prime-time experimentations. If the Beasties had gotten into that habit, this would be their B-side compendium: a dozen instrumental tracks showing off their groovier side, complete with plenty of wah peddle on the guitar and prominence given to frequent Beastie collaborators "Money" Mark Nishita (keyboards) and Eric Bobo (percussion). It's tough to believe that the same band is responsible for this and the Aglio e Olio EP, but it goes a long way in explaining how they've remained viable for so long. --Randy Silver

Great Instrumental Album.......2007-06-04

This is a great chill, party album. A great collection of the Beasties' instrumental tracks taken from previous albums.

The Beasties' Best Effort.......2007-05-28

This CD really showcases the band's talent. An amazing disc from start to finish. Not for you "classic" Beastie Boys fans, as this is an all-instrumental, all-funk CD. It's reminiscent of old Meters. I've yet to turn someone on to this and not have them LOVE it. Boys -- we'd love to see you do more of this amazing stuff!

Top Shelf.......2006-11-11

Had the 'cassette' wore it out listened to it so much! Never heard anything the Beastie Boys have done that I didn't like. The In Sound from Way Out reminds me of the type of music my father's generation would have enjoyed only with a different beat and different sound. At 50 years old I am very open minded and enjoy an extremely wide-range of music. Please note: This listing is in my wife's name!

Originally released in 1971, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory was an imaginative film that drew as much inspiration from the leftover vibes (and drugs) of the psychedelic '60s as it did from Roald Dahl's fanciful children's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you doubt it, check out this special 25th anniversary edition of the original soundtrack album, which features lyrics and music by Anthony Newley, who was a major influence on David Bowie and whose work on this film has clearly inspired '90s rockers from Veruca Salt (who took their name from the spoiled rich girl) to the Butthole Surfers (who could easily cover the sinister, trippy "Wondrous Boat Ride". C'mon, everybody, let's sing: "Oompa loompa/Doomp-ity-do/I've got another lesson for you...." --Jim Derogatis

This CD is pretty cool, especially since it has all of the original "Oompa Loompa" songs on it. If you love the movie, you will love the CD. If you aren't a big fan of the music in the movie, don't bother.

Get your own golden ticket..........2007-05-15

This is such a great cd. It has all of the songs from the movie along with snipits of the actors talking during the movie. I would whole heartedly recommend this soundtrack.

All these years later..........2007-05-12

Bought this for my granddaughter who absolutely loves this movie. It was one of my faves as a kid too. She wanted to sing along to the Oompah Loompah songs. This is NOT the best format for that because they are scattered throughout and not all verses are here, but we do listen to this often.

Well the title says it all. Everything went great. Item arrived fast and was in the condition they said it was. I will buy from them again.

Interesting Music for an Interesting Time in an Interesting Medium.......2006-12-26

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was a 1971 movie-musical adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a 1963 children's book written by Roald Dahl, the famed author of children books such as "The Big Friendly Giant," "James and the Giant Peach," "Matilda," "George's Marvelous Medicine," and the sequel to this one, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator." The 2006 remake of this film shared it's name with the original book by Dahl, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The original movie version stayed less true to the book, and in so doing it freed itself up for more creative uses of cinematic effect. And one example of creative discretion they wisely took advantage of was the inclusion of the songs on this soundtrack:

"I've Got a Golden Ticket"
"Cheer Up, Charlie"
"The Candyman"
"Pure Imagination"
"Oompa Loompa"
and "I Want It Now"

This is a pretty good mix of songs for the time (1971) and the medium (film soundtrack). The soundtrack is complimented by the film's strength as a children's movie that attained an almost cult status due to its script, costumes, set design, and cast (especially the lead role of Willy Wonka played by Gene Wilder). The music accompanies all these aspects of the movie very well. However, you have to be in the right mindset in order to enjoy this movie. If you're in the right mood (for example, hungry) the chocolate in this movie just might pull you in for the moment.

I bought the CD because I wanted the option of listening to the music without the movie setting. That way, I could just skip from track to track and listen to the songs without having to rewind or fastforward on my VHS player.

I digress, though. Rent the movie if you haven't seen it.

Is there a rap fan out there who didn't like "The Message"? It took rap in an entirely new direction: while others were content to ride the "Double Dutch Bus" down to the disco, the Furious Five spoke out about social decay. The chorus of "The Message" ("Don't push me, 'cause I'm close to the edge / I'm trying not to lose my head / Sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under") describes the effect of Reaganomics in ways that Dan Rather never could. Of course, Grandmaster Flash and company weren't against partying. In fact, they cut some of the best party tracks in the genre's history ("Freedom," "The Birthday Party"), along with some battle raps ("Step Off," "Showdown") to complete the package. Copyright restrictions probably kept the beat-edit classic "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" off the track listing. Still, one glaring omission isn't reason enough not to pick this up. --Todd Inoue

GRANDMASTER FLASH & FURIOUS FIVE.......2007-05-17

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR RAP OLD SCHOOLER'S. DELIVERY TIMEFRAME IS OUTSTANDING.

Sure-fire Collector's Item.......2007-03-12

I can't imagine a rap fan out there who would argue that Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five were not one of the best of all-time. Recognized as one of the pioneers of rap, particularly for turning rap into mainstream music, Grandmaster Flash should be respected for his work and ability to work with multitude of talents. "The Message" has to be regarded as one of the most popular rap songs of all time, and possibly in any type of music. That hit has been re-made, mixed, and sampled so much that even youngsters that were born after the hit was recorded will recognize the sounds. "Step Off" was also a hit during the break-dance era of the '80's, and many fans found that song more enjoyable than given credit for. Speaking of enjoyable hits, who didn't enjoy "Beat Street" (from the movie Beat Street) back in those days? It has to be regarded as one of the most fun rap songs to memorize, and "New York, New York" is another one that many enjoy rapping themselves. "White Lines" is a hit that many initially had no idea what the meaning of the song was supposed to be, but many figured it out after a while, once drug usage in urban areas of the country became heavily exposed to the mainstream audiences. Original lyrics, street-cred, hip beats/sounds, and strong social messages... Nothing seems to be missing in this compilation. If you like old school, make sure you add this one!

The Beginning of an Era .......2006-07-18

If you consider yourself a hip-hip fan (espically if you listen to most of todays garbage pop fake hip-hop, this is a must that you have this in your collection. Grandmaster Flash was one of the pioneers of hip-hop and even though this collection of songs was taken from the early 80's, it still holds up with its rawness. Its a shame that hip-hop has reached what it is today and the just arent enough hip-hop artist that do it just for the love of the music. Its a cruel world today in the music bizz, as most of the hip-hop artist of today are creations of some billion dollar record company and signs them to be the next MTV music hit. If you want raw, no nonsense hip-hop from the early days before artist cared about being #1 on TRL, this is a great place to start. ENJOY

Grandmaster cuts faster.......2005-11-01

Extraordinary music. Listen to what DJ GM Flash puts together: the grooves are so carefully fashioned and leap out at you time and again. In particular I've never heard a funkier slap bass sound - ever.

And let's talk MCs. Why don't rappers these days attack the mike anymore like these guys did? Are they afraid it's not cool to be energetic? Well no wonder no one dances to rap music anymore. But when you listen to this - the grooves and the punchy vocals - you will definitely move your body.

Only problem is: when you get hold of any other Hip Hop after this you'll be disappointed that the DJs don't cut as fast and clean as this Grandmaster.

The Quintessential 'Best Of' Collection.......2005-06-14

Like many of you, I've only heard "The Message" prior to purchasing this incredible 'best of' collection. As you probably know, Grandmaster Flash and company were recording the most popular rap songs in the early 80s. Most of these songs are stunningly wild and fun party jams. But in 1982, they released "The Message", which is considered to be the first rap song to be pushed from a novelty party jam, to a chilling prophecy, featuring effective social commentary. Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five built a rock solid bridge for Run-D.M.C. to step in, and push their "Message" even further, which eventually brought the hardcore edge to hip-hop. Whether you know it or now, their presence is still felt to this day, since hip-hop hasn't made that drastic of a leap since Run-D.M.C. (that's quite debatable). It also helped that the production was flawlessly perfect. It featured dub, electro, and R&B that was sure to hook nearly every listener of urban radio.

So if you're in the same boat as me, you're probably asking yourself, "Are their any other good songs from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five?". Well, the answer is yes. This is probably the best single disc best of collection you'll find from these guys. These are long infectious party jams. Many of which include the artillery of a large emcee battle, such as the epic Furious Five / Sugarhill Gang collaboration of "Showdown". A song I didn't think I'd like given the title, "The Birthday Party", actually turned out to be one of my favorites. Although, "It's Nasty (Genius of Love)" would have to be one of the most under-appreciated rap songs of all time. It's got one of the most clever attacks on the compilation, and will surely please any and all hip-hop lovers. They do tackle a bit more social commentary on tracks like "New York New York" and "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)". The latter features hard hitting lyrics about the dangers of drug use, and probably the most effective lyrics in it's time, given the subject matter. The only knock I have on the album is the first track, "Step Off Megamix". It's merely a "megamix" of their most popular songs thrown into one track (recorded in 1994). It would have been nicer if they would have thrown in a old-school jam up front, or at least put this track at the end, since the original versions shine much brighter throughout the remainder of the album.

Overall, if you're into old-school rap, this is a great listen. It's chalk-full of groundbreaking historical material. If you're at all interested in the evolution of rap, from the pre-Run-D.M.C. days, then you owe it to yourself to check this out. One could only be happier about the completeness of this collection.

My First Time.......2007-04-01

I remember, back when my older brother got his first car and popped this cd in when I rode with him. I fell in love with this cd so much that I knew when the skips happened(and still do till this day) and was sad when he lost this cd. Years Later, I had my own collection but it was missing something. So I searched and searched and finally found it! I've seen the movie but I will always love this album. There's heavy, hard, laid back, funky, and truly bizzare, all are great.

Judgement Night.......2007-03-12

I hated the music on this CD. The only track I liked on the whole CD was track 2 and I love it - I play that track over and over.

Good soundtrack from a forgettable film. .......2007-01-10

If I remember correctly around the time this movie came out is when the film industry started to realize with a good soundtrack packed full of kick butt artists they could really draw in larger crowds and make more money off soundtrack sales. Well, this CD is one of many victims of that film industry marketing genius that came about in the early 90's that took some great artists of the day, and in my opinion made one of the must have movie soundtracks of its time for anyone who is a fan of rap, rock, metal, or alternative.

Sure the music itself is now going on 14 years old, but at the time this was one earth moving rap-rock masterpiece considering that the now classic Aerosmith/Run DMC and Anthrax/Public Enemy duets were the only real previous rap-rock collaborations in the public eye.

For the general Joe public I would say keep browsing and save your money. As for the fans of some of the artists that just need to hear those extra songs, like myself, or the genre that might be interested in hearing the tracks I would say go for it, but like any other CD not every song is a winner.

Forgot about this one.......2006-02-20

The movie sucked, but the soundtrack was a concept album that sadly went unnoticed. Before morons like Limp Biskit and Linkin Park ruined the rap/rock genre, this was probably the best all-around album of its kind, up there with the first couple Rage Against the Machine records. Standouts include what I consider Helmet's best song ever, "Just Another Victim," which is really two songs cut in half, with House of Pain borrowing the riff to make the latter minutes into great old-school hip hop. Slayer and Ice-T, Cypress Hill with Pearl Jam (the latter whom I usually HATE), and a brilliantly disturbing teaming of Faith No More and Boo-Yaa Tribe for "Another Body Murdered" (the first FNM song recorded after they fired original guitarist Jim Martin) are among the tightest and most intense here. Just stay away from the retarded title track by Onyx and Biohazard, it blows.

The only good rap-rock ever recorded.......2005-12-11

Good rap-rock is rarer than giant diamonds. This here is the Koh-i-Noor of the genre. What?

The coming-of-age angle in the sports romance movie Love & Basketball is played up by this sharp soundtrack album. The music ranges from Al Green's eternal "Love and Happiness" to galvanizing late-'80s rap classics (Rob Base's "It Takes Two," MC Lyte's "Lyte as a Rock") to some of the best new-school R&B. Angie Stone takes Simply Red's calling card "Holding Back the Years" to church and then back to her softly lit pad, while alt hip-hoppers Black Eyed Peas team with Les Nubians for the atmospheric "Complete Beloved." The disc also boasts the welcome return of ex-Tony! Toni! Tone! frontman Raphael Saadiq with his new partners Dawn Robinson (formerly of En Vogue) and one-time Tribe Called Quest member Ali Shaheed Muhammad in the band Lucy Pearl. Their "Dance Tonight" is a spirited jam that no doubt plays well in the movie--and definitely does out of it. --Rickey Wright

Fabulous CD for an equally great movie!.......2006-07-07

The soundtrack to L&B really enhances the coming-of-age feel of the movie. I was about the same age as the characters in the movie when the various songs came out, and experienced many of the same things as Monica and Q. (I actually remember "It Takes 2" playing at one of my 1st college parties!) Pretty much every song on the L&B soundtrack is on point, but my absolute favorites are: "I Like" (Guy); "I Want to Be Your Man" (Roger); "Fool of Me" (Meshell Ndegeocello); and "I'll Go" (Donell Jones). The Donell Jones track in particular always brings a smile to my face - I suppose I just associate it the completely uplifting ending of the movie (and that adorable little girl that played Monica and Q's daughter!)

There is so much good music in the movie that naturally, all of the songs couldn't make it to the CD. "This Woman's Work" (Maxwell)--the to-die-for track that played during Monica and Q's poignant "first time" love scene--is not on the L&B soundtrack album :-( Neither is "Making Love in the Rain," which features Janet Jackson (one of my favorite artists of all time). But, the reality is, not every song that plays in a movie can make in onto a sountrack album. In fact, the missing tracks had the effect of introducing me to a couple of new artists, and new music from artists I already knew, since I had to go hunt down the missing tracks! For example, I found out that the inspirational song that plays while Monica is training her heart out and improving at USC is called "Our Destiny," by Hinda Hicks. To respond to someone who previously asked (I think?), the song is available on a limited-edition EMI archive re-issue of her album "Everything to Me."

In many ways, L&B made many of the soundtrack songs iconic for me. I can't help but think of Monica and Q's touching and steamy love scenes when I hear "This Woman's Work" or "I Like" (respectively), and the final one-on-one game between the two when I listen to "Fool of Me." The latter, in particular, seems like it was made for that final scene. Also, I always remember exactly what I was feeling when those tracks played during the movie, i.e., getting misty-eyed during the 1st love scene and bawling like a baby at the end when Monica and Q embraced after their game ;-) If you liked the movie, you absolutely MUST cop the soundtrack. Even if you've never seen the movie (and you really should!), you should still pick this album up if you like good music and ol skool/nu skool jams. An asset to any CD collection.

amazing soundtrack .......2006-03-03

I can never get sick of this CD! I feel as though it makes me remember songs I didn't even know I loved. The old school tracks are not so hackneyed that you are sick of them, nor so elusive that you don't remember them. Some of my favorites are "You Made a Fool of Me" and the stunning "This Woman's Work" that I can no longer hear without thinking of the infamous love scene from the movie (which by the way is also quite commendable).

Buy it: You won't be disappointed!

Good Mix of Music.......2006-02-25

This CD is a Keeper, something you need to have in ur collection, Good mix of music.

100%.......2005-04-04

Love and Basketball soundtrack...ONE OF A KIND.....BEST movie + soundtrack....Listen out for "I wanna be your man","Holding back the years" and "I'll go", those are my favourites although every song on the album is pretty much on point...100% for this album.

BTW why on earth isnt Maxwell's "This woman's work" on the playlist?....

What I thought as a teen..........2004-05-09

Well in order to have a good soundtrack, has to be based and written with a good movie.When I saw the actually video I had to absoultely get the music. If i were you i would buy the CD and share it with somebody special for that special occasion. It's a great CD to have and to own...but its better if you had the movie to go with it.

GI Jukebox.......2007-04-11

This is an excellent collection of the nostalgic songs from World War II. I was born in 1935, so was very young when this music was the rage. However, my parents managed a boarding house for young military men stationed at what is now Ellsworth AFB, SD, and their wives. The wives spent the long days playing the piano and singing some of these songs. It is a time in my life that I will cherish always.

G. I. Jukebox.......2007-03-28

Collections dealing with World War II abound; this is a good introductory one. Nothing out of the ordinary here (although Rudy Vallee's "As Time Goes By" is an unexpected treat, along with the Merry Macs' "Mairzy Doats"), but recommended for those who want a general overview.

excellent compilation of popular WWII music........2007-03-18

born in 1961, i, until recently, did not get much enjoyment from the popular music of the forties. as a passionate audiophile geek, i love exploring music of all the decades to which there is recorded sound. though my first flirtations with hits of the 40's did not go over to well, i did not give up. i came back to that decade. it was rhino records wonderful two volume collection "songs that got us through WWII," that really turned me around. i now find myself getting lots of pleasure from the popular music of this era. this collection: "G.I. Jukebox," is a complete winner, just like the double rhino collection i mentioned, it transports one to another time and another american culture. sometimes cheesy (nothing wrong with that), and always pleasing to hear, the songs on this disc are warm relics of a bygone era. i highly recommend this compilation to one and all.

Sentimental and fun songs of a great era ! .......2007-02-19

I bought this CD for a retirement gift for a lady who worked 44 years as a school cook. She loves anything World War II era. Another lady at the party had me order it for her as well. I really liked the selections, and I'm 25 years younger than those ladies!

"dream come true for nostalgic music collectors".......2000-04-07

This probably is one of the most thorough single disc collections of World War II hits ever assembled. Many tracks related - "THERE'LL BE A HOT TIME IN THE TOWN OF BERLIN (WHEN THE YANKS GO MARCHING IN)" with Bing Crosby and The Andrew Sisters - "COMIN' IN ON A WING AND A PRAYER" performed by The Song Spinners, both tracks have World War II related themes. A few stand outs - "MAIRZY DOATS" an original Merry Macs 1944 hit, not available on many compilations - "CANDY" has Johnny Mercer, Jo Stafford and The Pied Pipers with this 1945 Chart Topper.

Songwriter Johnny Mercer has five of the eighteen tracks from his long career represented on this excellent Hip-O Record compilation, each with the original artists and version. One further note, all selections reached number one on "Billboard Charts" between 1941 and 1945. A dream come true for nostalgic music collectors.
