Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters - Don't Fence Me In (Intro'd by Chuck Cecil)

[Georgewos]

Of course Bing and the Andrews sisters would have a larger selling record than Roy Rogers, they were the top singers at that time. They would get more radio air time.

@ajustit Bing and the Andrews Sisters made it famous long before Roy.

@Nocaro derrrp shut up know-it-all

[bonney1939]

I had a friend who was in the army during WWII. He said at a USO show in Europe "Don't Fence Me In" and "I'll Be Seeing You" were requested over and over again by the GI's.

My Dad use to always remeber hearing this as a kid selling papers on Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles in 1944 as the Allies were invading Europe. He always connected the last months of the war with this song.

The original recording of ''Don't Fence Me In'' by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters hit no. 1 on the charts in the third week of December 1944 and held first place on the charts for eight consecutive weeks -- until The Andrews Sisters, by themselves without Bing, boomed into no. 1 with their ''Rum and Coca Cola'' -- in the second week of February 1945.

[soulleskill]

@PublicRadioWorldWide personally i think rum and coca cola is still the best they ever preformed

[carrimattan]

take note

this is country western much as it should be

[Nocaro]

LOL, take note, Cole Porter, who wrote this song, is about as "country and western" as Barack Obama is, but suit yourself.

[RioGiovanni]

Was Cole Porter working with Bing? I don't know much about them; is this the same guy who wrote "anything goes"?

[Nocaro]

The SAME Cole Porter. Cole had been asked to compose a "cowboy song" for a musical and this was the end result...the man could write anything.

For you, mum, on 13th August. Happy birthday.
