Talk:Your Hit Parade

Radio Piece
this radio piece has some useful info http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4608601 says Frank Sinatra was on the show, and (in an example of the trend toward performance over song that would kill the show) was one of the rare performers who sang his own song.

Note about Kelly Garrett
Anyone contemplating adding a link to Kelly Garrett should be advised that the article Kelly Garrett is not about the singer who appeared on the 1974 revival but is actually about the "Charlie's Angels" character. It might be possible to create a separate article about Kelly Garrett the singer, but based on what appears on her IMDB page:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0308153/

I question the need for such an article.

Confusion regarding title
The second paragraph of the introduction says "there was no agreement as to what it should be called" when the show debuted. "The program's title was not officially changed to 'Your Hit Parade' until November 9, 1935." And yet, later, "Your Hit Parade began on NBC April 20, 1935". This raises the question of what the program called itself from April through November of that year. Can this question be answered? It would be better if this confusion were resolved. I suspect the name was Your Hit Parade from the beginning in April (if not yet copyrighted or whatever), but if not the original title should be provided, assuming there was one as one would imagine there was.
