Continuing to play catchup on the number one hits of the 1940s, this Tuesday offering is one we missed from September 1940. Part of the problem, as mentioned before, was the incomplete charts. Then there’s the fact that in those early years, there were two or three charts (Billboard adjusted stuff a lot in those days) that were equally considered. This one didn’t hit the top of the Best Sellers chart, but was top of the Juke Box Record Buying Guide chart.
