Charlie Kunz

Charlie Kunz was an American-born pianist and bandleader who became a beloved figure in British dance band music during the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Pennsylvania in 1896, he moved to the UK in the 1920s, where his smooth piano medleys and gentle touch quickly captured public affection. Kunz became especially well-known for his "piano medleys"—seamless arrangements of popular tunes delivered with his signature relaxed, lyrical style.

Kunz enjoyed a prolific recording career and was a fixture on radio and in dance halls, where his elegant interpretations of popular melodies brought comfort and cheer through turbulent times, including World War II. His music, including albums like Dance Your Way Through The Thirties and The Songs We Sang, remains a nostalgic reminder of a golden era in British light music.
