In 1947, Nelson Eddy took over the summer series of Kraft Music Hall. Nelson Eddy, a classically trained baritone, is best remembered today for his nineteen films. Nelson Eddy was the highest paid singer in the world in his heyday, earning $10,000 for a single concert. In his last two seasons with Kraft Music Hall, Nelson Eddy was joined by co-host Dorothy Kirsten, an operatic soprano. Rounding out the supporting cast were announcer Ken Carpenter, whom Bing Crosby called "the man with the golden voice", and musical director Robert Armbruster, who was featured in classical piano solos each week on the program. This set is composed of fourteen half-hour shows from 1948, five of which are rehearsals for the show.
