Bing Crosby-"Sweet Georgia Brown"

[plappolog]

dove sei dolce georgia dai capelli castani?...ti sto cercando giù in città ma mi sfuggi con quei due piedi sinistri...vai troppo veloce...!

[CornishStrayCat]

still a fan of his 30s tunes...fab

[onceone96]

Tom and Jerry? Anyone?

[bluesborn]

I love the way these recordings from the 1930s "chug" along.That downbeat always reminds me of cartoons from that era where they all bop along in time with the music.Just a silly thought.

[MissMadHatty]

that's my name :)

[MrBasketballplayer50]

What a voice! Quite a baritone!

[Weendigo172]

Am I a hipster for thinking this man is a god among mere mortal singers?

[TheiosXaris]

@Weendigo172 If loving Bing makes me a hipster, then goddammit, I am a snot-nosed, bespectacled hipster!

[crazybluedevil4]

[corvis88]

fellas that she can't get

must be ones that she ain't met

[tuxguys]

Most of America knows Bing the Movie Star... especially, as years go by, for "White Christmas..."

Very few know that it was his early jazz singing (in the early days of jazz) that put him on the map, and got him to Hollywood. With the exceptions of Armstrong, and perhaps Jolson, the most seminal male singer this country has ever produced.

[madtiger111]

Good-looking, multi-talented, rich, famous:

He got the drawers!!!

[GassyCoke]

That scat is awesome

[J999ACK]

The Acoustix do a superb acapella version of this!

[MrPontiusPilate]

Anyone know the song Evelina sung by Bing sometime in his career? I can't find it anywhere.

[rockgor]

Look for "Dear Evelina" or "Sweet Evelina".

There are a couple version on You tube. Don't

think Bing's is here though.

[mustangcharger]

Amazing how much comes through the terrible microphones. He can put it across - and scat before it was cool.

[ljliljohn]

Muted trombone! How great...and is the guitar Eddie Lang?

[Britcomsarebest]

My copy of this tune (as above) states that the the guitarist was, indeed, Eddie Lang, The trombonist was Jack Jenny.

[Vegavox]

Yeeeesss!

Eddie was there!

[lawrencejosephjenzen]

this is for me,I love to swing dance man I get really go at on the lovely song sung by der bingle.I am a big fan and love this song and the time it was made most of all.I am only 53 years old.lawrence in new york city,ny December 20,2009

[comeonfolks]

Not for dates, but is anyone else around 20-29? Just, I was thinking, I'm 20, when I'm 86 in 2075, song'll be 140ish years old....

[antmfan217]

I could listen to this man sing all day long.

[Liamtherapist]

@antmfan217 I listen to Bing when I do yard work for my neighbors. Great music to work to.

[670bed]

Trumpet solo? Anyone know?

[Britcomsarebest]

I have a copy of this song with Isham Jones recorded 23rd. Apr.,1932 and the pamphlet states that the trumpeters were George Thow & Chelsea Quealey.

[brosro]

@Britcomsarebest Could you please list the entire personnel on the sleeve/pamphlet? I would like to compare it to a list I have from Geo. Thow circa 1970.

[brosro]

You're right. Thow's first recorded solo. Chelsea Qualey is a surprise. May I ask what you mean by "pamphlet"?

[Tontonloic22]

Thanx from France ! I love Bing Crosby !

[trombonistpete]

I have several Versions of this, Jerry Lee Lewis, Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Chris Barber but my favourite is Acker Bilks.

[10wal]

bang on bing

[twilightsexyvampire]

i gotta play the bari sax part of this for a jazz band audition. now i get it. thanks

[blabliblublablo]

Great Jaaaaaaaaazz

[Toninjinka]

By the way, Fats Waller might have sung this tune to, don't you think so ? But I've found nothing on youtube :/

[Toninjinka]

I just can't help myself, got to whistle when I hear this tune \o/

[RoryVanucchi]

Ella Fitzgerald nailed this song.

Ol Bing did it for years as well.

[drthscion]

i personnaly like mel brooks's polish version in his comedy "To Be or Not To Be

[whitefalcon64]

Nice singer for a super-song, but folks, try the performing of Jerry Lee Lewis. It could make a dead man be alive again !!

[1940spianoman]

white: well folks, I tried Lewis. IT SUCKED. The big band sound can make your dead granny be alive again!!

[dufusjunior]

My granny loves Lewis!

But she aint dead.

[JCJasion]

Makes an interesting contrast with the Isham Jones 1925 pioneering electrical recording of the same tune. Not only recording, but arranging advanced at a marked pace in the late 1920's and early 1930's.

[bingfan22]

To "bingcrosby1903", this recording was made with the Isham Jones orchestra. It is certainly one of my favorite Crosby recordings. I love the scat solo he does after the instrumental break.

[bingcrosby1903]

Thank you very much! the columbia re-issue of these recordings didn't have all the info for some of the tracks.

Thanks for listening!

[LordMgls]

@bingfan22 when??

[bingfan22]

@LordMgls If you're asking about when this version was recorded, it was recorded on April 15, 1932. There's actually another take that's been released, but I find this one to be much better.

[Coerlin]

@bingfan22 Agreed, I love that scat section. The whole song is magic. I've just discovered the old time music through a game called Fallout3...now my winamp playlist is full of them, including more from Bing and Bob. I'm just discovering legends like Django and The Ink Spots.

[DGatsby]

Wonderful!

[MattMurdockCZ]

This is da best version

[TEKUAPETLA]

Thanks for the material is very rich!
