Much better video quality. The audio is top notch, this is an actual 78 player with a new needle and the record is in good shape. Audio is fed into a professional grade balanced audio card raw, I do not process the sound so you’re hearing the record as it is 
This is actually a song we DON’T play (too old), but I thought a 78 would get things started off nicely! If you like the videos you see here then visit www.radiostorm.com and click on Oldies to tune in and hear lots of great music! “Wheel of Fortune” is a popular song written by Bennie Benjamin and George David Weiss and published in 1952. It was popularized in 1952 by Kay Starr, and was also used as the theme to a television series of the same name.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
“While the wheel is spinning, spinning, spinning…” Lovely
I heard the ending of this on an old Happy Days episode and had to listen to the whole thing. Even someone like me, from the heavy metal era, can appreciate great music like this.
This song captured my fav part of the film, “LA Confidential’.
i played this record when i was a little boy back in Cowgill,Mo…

Funny how this sounds better than my cd
AN OLD TIMER REMINICING!!! 6 BN REME BORDON DISC JOCKEY PLAYED THIS WHEN SGT MAJOR FORTUNE WAS TOURING THE BLOCK AS A WARNING
classic!
Also in Shutter Island.
Great song. Elvis named Kay Starr as one of his favorite singers, and now I can see why. Great pipes and interpretive ability, and a great beauty, to boot! Was the lead vocal in the bridge double-tracked? I wouldn’t be surprised; Capitol was doing all kinds of neat stuff with Les Paul and Mary Ford at the same time.
Yeah! L.A. Cinfidential, what a film. what a soundtrack. This and acc en tuate the positive!
Love this song – brings back many memories. Hey dad – I’m listening to your music now, and I love it!!
Brilliant…They don’t make ‘em like that no more!
I remember hearing this while watching The Right Stuff. Great song. One of the best from the old school.
i first heard this song in that film let him have it the story about the christopher craig and derek bentley story, britains worst case of misscarriage of justice
@RainyDaysDownUnder same.
LA Confidential is freaking amazing =)
how such a rare treasure you have ! This is absolutly enjoying . I thank you a lot !
I wish I was alive in the ’50s and ’60s to experience the music, television, fashion, entertainment but instead I’m born into this generation :
When this song was popular…I was11 years and in LOVE with the news boy. This song brings back those memories.
I like this. It’s full of soul. Kay Starr didn’t just sing it; she expressed it with great feeling. She didn’t have anything like the studio sound-manufacturing support which modern performers had. In 1952, you needed to actually sing like Kay Starr if you wanted your voice on your record to sound like Kay Starr.
Before my time but I love this song. What a voice a beautiful voice. Would have loved to have been in this era. Also first heard this in L.A Confidential.
