Man, I totally forgot about Carlos Montoya and Gene Krupa! Definitely revising my list.
Also, happy to see the 40s charts being utilized already!

Your feedback for Top 82 Music Albums of the 1940s
A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
