The Voice of Bing in the 1930's

In this 1957 LP, Der Bingle shows himself to be a crooning tenor who's not quite the Schmaltz King who became known to the Baby Boomers.

Here're the selections:

01 - Where the Blue of the Night Meets the Gold of the Day

02 - I Found a Million Dollar Baby (in a Five and Ten Cent Store)

03 - At Your Command

04 - Now That You're Gone

05 - Dancing in the Dark

06 - Too Late

07 - Sweet and Lovely

08 - A Faded Summer Love

09 - Just One More Chance

10 - I'm Through With Love

11 - Out of Nowhere

12 - Good Night Sweetheart

Also included are the rear liner notes.

The Voice of Bing in the 1930's

Somewhat of note is the last song.  "Goodnight, Sweetheart" is a 1931 number recorded many times, appearing in several films, including 1942's The Palm Beach Story (sung by Rudy Vallee) and 1943's Stage Door Canteen.  It's also the song heard playing on the radio in Star Trek's "City on the Edge of Forever," as Kirk and Keeler pitch a little woo.

See you on Monday!
