Pearl Harbor Songs of WW2

A Newsound 2000 compilation documenting the popular songs that soundtracked America’s entry into World War II, recorded in the immediate aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack. These period recordings capture the patriotic fervor and emotional response of 1940s pop and swing artists responding to December 7th in real time. The collection functions as both a historical artifact and a snapshot of how the music industry mobilized around national tragedy, with vocal standards and big band arrangements dominating the tracklist.
