The special service division presents one of Americas newest and most popular radio programs for the men and women in the armed forces of the united nations from Carnegie Hall in New York City. Your All-Time Hit Parade, a mixture of past popular hits along with the days current hits. It stars two distinctly different bands; Mark Warnow, famous conductor of popular music with his entire Carnegie Hall Orchestra and Tiny Hill the jolly giant of jazz with his double shuffle beat. 

Mark Warnow opens the show with a song that was popular back in the spring of 1936. It made Hit Parade history when it was voted on three time in a row and five times at number one,  Is It True What They Say About Dixie. Next Jerry Wayne sings the current number three hit People Will Say We're In Love. Maestro "Tiny" Hill and his band perform Margie. Jerry Wayne sings the current number two song In The Blue Of The Evening. Bea Wain sings a song popular in 1930 called Time On My Hands. Tiny Hill sings Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue. The song that is number one in the current parade is You'll Never Know and is sung by Jerry Wayne. Three all time great song songs are performed in medley by Mark Warnow.
