Look through this collection from the Nipper series. Nipper was the name of the dog listening to the Victrola in the old RCA logo (pictured on the CD cover). The tag line was “His master’s voice” which lives on the music store name of HMV in the UK and Canada.
Bing Crosby, Hoagy Carmichael, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller…they’re all there.

the answers above me are good ones.
and if you have ever seen “Cinderella Man”, then the music played in that movie is all 1930′s.
here are some audio samples:

Visit http://www.ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/top40/ for the top hits of the 1930s (to 1998). The number after each song for any particular year is its peak chart position for that year from Billboard, USA.
Back then, people either heard this music on their radios, record players or live at dance halls.

My parents, who were both young in the 1930s, loved Jazz music more than any other kind. My father’s favourite was Louis Armstrong. He saw Armstrong and his band perform the first time they ever came to Britain. My father was in a cafe before the show, and he was really thrilled when two of Armstrong’s musicians came over and asked if they could sit at his table. After the show he was so blown away by the wonderful music he had heard that he felt like he was walking on air as he walked home.
My mother’s favourite was Fats Waller,and she and my father both liked lots of other Jazz musicians and singers like Count Basie, Louise Jordan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday. My father also liked Bessie Smith, but my mother found her songs too gloomy.
