Pat O'Malley does the Bing imitation. He sang with Hylton from 1930 - 1936.
Hylton's Band was very much a show band and did a lot of this sort of thing. Pat O'Malley was a talented voice impersonator. He was very popular on American radio when the band toured in 1934 and was a hit with his rendition of 'The Lion & Albert' in his Lancashire dialect. He left Hylton's band to work for the Dysney studios where his voice was used in many movies. Known to Americans as: J. Pat O'Malley.
The band's pianist, Billy Munn, who came from Bridgeton in Glasgow, does the Louis Armstrong imitation. One writer called the imitation "atrocious". To me it sounds a bit more like Rufus Roughcut in the Wacky Races. Billy Munn, in his latter years, lived in Torquay and bred alsatians.
The assignment of Bing Crosby as vocalist in one of the fragments is in error. The vocalist is not Bing. I don't know who it is, but he does a decent impersonation of Bing.
My mistake. I thought that the file was created by stringing together pieces from existing recordings of "Dinah." It turns out that this is a single recording by Jack Hylton with the musicans making impersonations of Louis, Bing, Venuti, Lombardo, etc.

Naff? That was par for the course in the 1920s.

Wow, I can't believe that it is really Whispering Jack Smith. It's too high.

I've always liked the song Dinah, but I've never heard this version before. I love the vintage cartoon.
