Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

When Mel and I married, our friends' packages of crystal, silver and linen delighted me. Yet the present which pleased me most is one seldom found in a display of wedding gifts. Mel wrote me a song. It's a simple, lilting melody, easy to sing, and with the kind of words any boy can say to his girl and not feel silly saying them. Mel calls it "There Isn't Any Special Reason." It's our love story. Since then, other boys and girls have made it doubly precious by singing our song with us. There wasn't any special reason, to quote Mel's title, why he should fall in love with me at first sight. Yet Mel insists he did. We met in a New York night club. I had a date. Mel didn't. The man I was with introduced him, and Mel sat down at our table. I had heard of Mel Torme, of course. Everyone in show business had heard of Mel Torme, the astonishing young star who confused the critics.
