Thank you for putting this on. My grandmother was his step-cousin. Learned Bing really burned Harry (and a lot of others) and he lost heart. Too bad Harry never went farther: looks, talent. Mel Torme did a great arrangement of Harry's I Surrender Dear. Again, thank you. karaokeKate from San Francisco Bay Area.
Bing was also a real jerk to his first wife Dixie, the mother of his four sons. Tragically, Dixie was a terrible alcoholic and everyone who knew the situation said that Bing drove her to drink.
A TERRIFIC song! Its simple melody lends itself to lots of hot breaks and rhythmic punctuation. Harry Barris's scatting is a hoot! I may even work this up for the Wurlitzer! Thanks very much for posting!
Was that Robert Young doing the intro? I was just listening to him on Father Knows Best via an old time radio station.

Say, that does look like a wild party! :)
I guess "high" had a slightly different connotation than it did in later years.
Lots of fun, thanks for posting!
