Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong singing: Dardanella , South Rampart Street Parade

[Onlymusical]

From the mid-1950s, Bing was more comfortable in a bass range while maintaining a baritone quality, with the best octave being G to G, or even F to F. In a recording he made of 'Dardanella' with Louis Armstrong in 1960, he attacks lightly and easily on a low E flat. This is lower than most opera basses care to venture, and they tend to sound as if they were in the cellar when they get there." --- vocal critic Henry Pleasants
