Rare 78 rpm - Bing Crosby - Mighty Lak' a Rose 1945

[12799MaDeuce]

My grandmother bought me a CD of organ music when I was little (early 90's), and my absolute favorite song on the entire CD was a rendition of Might Lak a Rose

This is the flip side of Crosby's The Sweetest Story Ever Told, both recorded in 1945.

out of interest, what makes you say this is rare? all of bing's records sold pretty well i'd guess,

I was watching a movie recently, and a new father was singing this to his new son, and across 50+ years, I remembered my Dad singing this to me while walking me around the room. Thanks.

Glad for the fond memories. It is a beautiful song and of course Bing Crosby did a very lovely rendition, as usual for him.

I found this song in an old songbook, and looked it up and found your video. Great archival photos!
