G.I. Jive was a 15-minute music program that was produced & broadcast by the U.S. government via the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS) radio network. Early shows had a variety of hosts: Frank Nelson, Lester Jay, and popular pin-up girls like Donna Reed were guest DJs.
In 1943, G.I. Jill (Martha Wilkerson) took over behind the mike, and according to the AFRTS Archive blog, G.I. Jive became the most popular show on AFRS. (Also see Jill's All-Time Jukebox and The Army-Navy Screen Magazine 55 (1945) here on Archive.org.)
The dates of these files are approximate; I looked up the dates of the songs and extrapolated from there. Any typos or errors are mine. :)

In 1943, G.I. Jill (Martha Wilkerson) took over behind the mike, and according to the AFRTS Archive blog, G.I. Jive became the most popular show on AFRS. (Also see Jill's All-Time Jukebox and The Army-Navy Screen Magazine 55 (1945) here on Archive.org.)
