Command Performance is a variety program created to entertain members of the U.S. armed forces during World War II. Its broadcasts bring together popular performers from music, comedy, and other areas of show business for a lively radio presentation.

This recording features singer Dinah Shore alongside the comedy team Lum and Abner. The program’s variety format offers a change of pace between musical performance and comic entertainment, with the appeal of hearing familiar stars share a broadcast.

Warm, spirited, and shaped by its wartime purpose, Command Performance combines popular entertainment with a direct connection to service members listening far from home.


This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
