La Mer (Beyond The Sea) - Bing Crosby

[huxleyvertical]

Bing just got 100X more awesome.

[woodsfg]

No one, not even Crosby, can top the Charles Trenet version.

[arorcarmin]

que belleza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AbsentWithoutLeaving]

Lovely voice. But I could do without at least half of the soupy violins in the background.

[TheKristobald]

I'm french and I think his accent is adorable !!

[amaSenpai]

What, Bing Crosby, WHAT? Don't you dare make me like the French language, just don't. It sounds like 'blleeehhhuuuu' to me. It isn't allowed to make me floaty just because its you.

Bing <3

[jfreidog16]

Bing Crosby was the greatest singer of all time, and this song is one of the reasons why.

[treejahone]

Bing always had that voice, a voice that would make anyone feel at ease, and chilled out. Bravo Bing thanks for existing.

[gsaugen]

Did Crosby have an accent? I can't notice it and I speak a little French. Anyway, who am I say to say so?  I'm Brazilian, I speak Portuguese... with Brazilian accent, of course! (GILBERTO SAUGEN DO BRASIL)

[vivelevlev]

J'aime beaucoup son accent.

[astroboirap]

lol @ as his creeeeeepy pedo face and cheesy french

[hypersite]

Tres jolie version !

[charleneaponte1]

Bing was a abusive shit...die, bitch

[ChrisZoias]

@charleneaponte1 How so? He is dead, show some respect.

[Mijumaru500]

@charleneaponte1

Just because he looks like a creeper doesn't mean that he is one! :3

[giniered]

trés belle version!!

[fntavora]

Mais uma excelente interpretação, na voz maravilhosa de Bing Crosby, de um fabuloso tema musical ("La Mer"), também interpretado, de forma notável, por Charles Ttrenet e tantos outros artistas de renome internacional !

[boilerplate7]

What a comforting voice.

[AlmosFunny]

Very beautiful, although I don't understand his French.

[Elisabeth285]

Très beau même si je ne comprends pas son français

[bingcro]

i love bing but you cant compare this version with charles trenets' thanks for posting

[zulehec]

Un excelente antante, lástima que Franck Sinatra le hizo sombra, pues los dos surgieron en la misma época.

[iconaclastor]

Agreed, this is an absolute gem of a song and to post it was fantastic. The king of the crooners shows his diversity here. I would love to sing an english translation of this version.

[SamTheToyRobot]

@iconaclastor Beyond the Sea is the English counterpart to this song, though the lyrics differ quite a bit.

[tefumi]

awesome!

[BuyBenco]

Year?

[surfrider1962]

Quite great !!!

[Poodleinacan]

I barely understand his french....and my birth language is french.

[petitfauvette]

He speaks French like a Texan, but it was fun! Thanks for posting!

[BigBingFan]

@petitfauvette Being in Bing's Fan Club, the International Club Crosby, and discerning international members often state that Bing's French is every bit as charming to the French ear, as Maurice Chevalier's English is to an American ear. I believe that. Bing tackled this where most would avoid it completely. Very charming--to this American ear.

[BuyBenco]

@BigBingFan YES-Chevalier's English is charming, I'd like to join the Bing fan club, where can you?

[EilisM]

@petitfauvette texans speak french? lol!

[huxleyvertical]

@petitfauvette

So do I, I admit--being a Texan. But I love singing French music and do it whenever I can. I love the cultural exchange that happens when we learn and perform each others' songs.

[JubalCalif]

Heavens to Murgatroid! Had NO idea that the late great Der Bingle has ever recorded this classic romantic ballad. I loved hearing it today for the first time. THANK YOU for sharing this gem with us! You've made my day & my week!  :)

[SwooningCrooner]

lazy bastard.

[SwooningCrooner]

You need to put more tags on this. This is a hidden gem. If people heard this they would love it. Bing is in his element here, not because its in French, for hes an American Irishman, but because it is HIS patented style and his crooning here is flawless. Bing at his best here.

[AzzaPorge]

Unbelieveable - I am a huge Bing Crosby and Bobby Darin fan. This is the best find ever on the internet. I just had to sign up for Youtube and put this in my favourites in case it gets truly lost. Next step is to copy the recording and save as MP3 and put it on my MP3 Player.

Once again - I'm ECSTATIC!

@SwooningCrooner

He is an amazing artist that will be rediscovered, only so much pants on the floor squawking the human race can endure.
