"I Found a Million Dollar Baby", Bing Crosby

[Mom1910]

Bing was at top of his game, his voice is fantastic, he's passionate......no one sings better ....period!

[Loumademe]

Very good! I'm not a great fan of the late Mr. Crosby but this tune is exceptional. Thank You for sharing it. M

[R2197]

Fantastic! I love it.

[Grampyland]

One of Der Bingle's best.

[paulkate72]

I think this is Bing's best song. He reaches the heights with this one. Don't know if anyone else sings it, but in my view Bing's is the definitve version.

[baghend]

you crank a mean Victrola Fuzz, and beautiful it is- as is the decor. May I assume you have anti-macassars on the Chesterfield? Watching the vid and listening to Bing felt like being in Aunt Mildred's (nicknamed Toots) parlour, which, in 1957, hadn't changed since 1927 as I remember.

Great tune- and would any one under 50 know what a 5&10 cent store was?

Thanks for doing a nice job on this.

-Bill

Whew, talk about naustalgic, I don't get quite the same feeling with the big band sound, like Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman, altho it can compare. It must be the way it sounds coming from that music box/record player. We use to have a wind up record player kicking arounsd and I made a mistake byy playing a coule of my 45's on it a few too many times..the vinyle was turning white, and I kidd you not. We got a better record player soon after that wasn't so hard on those r&r records I was buying

[hedablinka]

This is a wonderful presentation. I really despise the folks who play the music and show the record label, as if that is enough. These folks welcome us into their home and their "victrola" collection, and let us listen to the music. I love it. Thankyou for your adventurous attitude and your capacity for sharing.

They don't write them like this anymore;- A REAL LOVE SONG that someone croons. There are no more real singers, just screamers.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

This is the version i remember!, thanks for postin", i believe i heard it whilw watching an old time movie, i'm sure of it!!!

[Alanni91789]

I discovered this wonderful tune on the soundtrack for Henry & June.

[Blutmond666]

@Alanni91789

me too :) the soundtrack is wonderful!

[wonderglory]

This rendition was heard at the opening credits of the second half of, "Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story." When Farrah Fawcett passed away, I immediately thought about the title role she played in that mini-series. Ironically, the real Barbara Hutton died in 1979. She was buried in the Woolworth family plot inside a cemetery in the Bronx, New York. She was nearly penniless at the time of her death.

@wonderglory Gosh, this is a terrific recording. Thanks for the commentary. It is also great.

[Cresantstar]

i listend to another version of this with margie hines singing along with some people, She was like Boy you Got lots of silver lining

this must be a diffrent version

[fuzzbear6240]

Cresantstar, This was a very popular number which was recorded many time over the years. IIRC there's also a another song with the same title which was written a few year earlier. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

My beautiful mother passed away on Feb. 2, 2009. She was 88 years old. She and Daddy met while she was selling records at Woolworths in Pittsburgh in 1941. They were married 64 years...Daddy always and still calls her his "million dollar baby" that he found in a five and ten cent store...RIP LaVerne Bouve'-I love you and know you are singing in Heaven...xoxoxo Michelle

[fuzzbear6240]

Michelle, My condolences, I'm sorry for your loss. That is a charming story. Thank you for sharing it. I hope this clip calls to mind only the fondest memories.

Regards, J.

[mickichell]

Thanks so much-when I listen to this song, it does bring very fond memories of my Mom and Dad together- I can just picture them as young marrieds, and it brings a smile to my face:)

[fuzzbear6240]

Michelle, I'm so pleased. Thank you for sharing of yourself and God Bless you and yours.

Regards, J.

[Nuxtabadun]

Michelle, I can't believe this. I was emailing my younger siblings on how Mom and my Dad (different Dad from theirs) had met and it's almost identical to yours! Mom said she was working in Woolworth's in Chicago in 1939 or 1940 when she met him and he always sang the song to her. He died in 1977 and she died Mar. 3, 1998 at 77 years old. Isn't life interesting,

[29067930]

@chel1028 OMG such a beatifull story.....she was her millon dollar baby!! so romantic!!! with a happy ending!!!

poor Barbara hutton she was´n that lucky she has millons but no love!

[gydney]

What a great version! This song was my parents' song. They met in 1931 and married in 1934. I never heard this version before, and it's just wonderful. Thank you.

[fuzzbear6240]
