This week the majority of the show is devoted to a celebration of the centenary of "one of the good guys of popular music" - Russell's description of Saul Chaplin.

We open with a modern version of his earliest published song, Rhythm Is Our Business, sung by John Pizzarelli. Artie Shaw's version of his Prosschai comes next, followed by Until The Real Thing Comes Along which Chaplin and Sammy Cahn adapted and turned into a standard.

Chaplin's life in Hollywood gives us songs from Cole Porter musicals (Bing with I Love You Samantha and Ann Miller with Why Can't You Behave from High Society and Kiss Me Kate respectively).

Next, a famous collaboration with Al Jolson - The Anniversary Song - is sung for us by Tom Jones, followed by Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane with Dedicated To You. For Mary Lou Williams, Cahn and Chaplin wrote The Lady Who Swings The Band, which we hear in the original.

Rosemary Squires gives us Please Be Kind and we hear recordings from 85 years ago (Jane Green's I'm Gonna Meet My Sweetie Now) and 60 years ago (King Pleasure and Blossom Dearie's Moody's Mood For Love) before a final 30s Chaplin number from Jimmie Lunceford - Rhythm In My Nursery Rhymes.
