I have this WONDERFUL Paul Whiteman Columbia, These Mr. Patato Head Columbia`s are Lot`s of FUN!!! I have35 of them so far!! Wondering how many I need to have a complete set? But this post as all your other post is just too AWESOME for words. Thank You so much for all The HARD work you do.
I was enjoying your video this morning, as I was feeding my 20-month-old son. He was all smiles when the music began, and he bounced in his chair as he listened.
Definitely Bing as the lead vocalist, with Fulton, Gaylord and Young providing background harmony (sometimes, it was a combination of Fulton-Gaylord-Young singing the opening verse, then Crosby-Rinker-Barris {"The Rhythm Boys"} taking over for the chorus, as in "I'd Rather Cry Over You"). Columbia printed special labels for Whiteman's releases, with Paul's self-caricature ["The Potato Head"] on the left side- it was a BIG deal for them to have the world's #1 bandleader under exclusive contract.
do have the first paul whiteman record? I do by the way great song

The verse [:48-1:07]:
What do you do in the evening
When you don't know what to do?
Read a book? Play a game?
Every night it's just the same!
What do you say if I tell you
How to keep from feeling blue?
My advice is good to take,
And it's easier to do!
{Chorus: "When you're all alone.."}

Agreed. The Sam Lanin version, on Parlophone in England, (Okeh in US?) is wonderful. I wish I still had my copy.

This is the so called "Potato Head Label" of Paul Whiteman recordings on Columbia.
