Muchas gracias por compartirlo.

Different than the version I was weaned on since I was about 5 years old. This is when Cros was singing from the heart and like he needed the money. Tremendous lyric and a heartfelt rendition from "The Groaner."

[PoisonOnHisLips]

Kirsten Dunst sings this in Spider-Man 3!!

Bing was great, here & allways . And the pics are something . But I confess that when I hear Marilyn in Billy Wilder's film , I fall in love with her though she was not a

singer.

[honeybee7700]

so cute this song. sarah vaughan and marilyn have beautiful versions

[ClarasBeau]

They say that when men sing in the shower, they imagine they sound just like Bing Crosby. What a great talent he was... Amazing, too that he happened to be so good-looking...

[baghend]

Gee- this is so nicely done- the music, Bing, and the stills from those great old flicks. The Buster Keaton photo is wonderful- they all are. Art Deco photography from an incredible decade esp. with regards to music, film, and theatre.

Crosby really shines and the band is smooth and a good fit for him- I thought it was Whiteman at first.

Love the song anyway- I've sung it myself a few times Haven't we all?

Thanks again

-Bill

Where would be able to find footage of guitarist Eddie Lang - since he apparently featured in a few of Crosby's films

[flenif2247]

I love Marilyn Monroe's rendition of this in Some Like it Hot. It was so despondent and heart felt. I'm sure the poor girl was thinking of her own life as she sang it.

[marongiu68]

wonderful

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

[rogharm]

[Kitabo27]

This is absolutely a fantastic post. Thank you!!!

[robgems2]

Usual followers,that busy talking rubbish nobody noticed the title is wrong.Proves its another upload off the net.I suppose if i asked the orch and date some homework needed.

[Kitabo27]

@robgems2 LOL or nobody really cared! Nice to hear it after all these years.

[robgems2]

@Kitabo27 IF youtube broke down,yes you would be listening to

FRESH AIR. I'm always wary of single person listeners,they have

no idea of music.you spend most of the time drooling over a picture,and saying silly comments that the host is too embarrassed to answer.

[VictrolaJazz]

Beautiful song! Thanks!

[GeminiNightOwl]

I simply LOVE this song...thanks for posting :)

[Hunterunc]

This is charming, but Monroe's is the most emotional of all.

[sailcat23]

I liked his Christmas songs.

[meredith218461]

Crosbys voice during the 30s was simply fabulous.

[mvnkct]

This is my favorite version because the orchestra has that wonderful early 1930s sound. I also liked Bing's voice in the early 1930s - -- better than the late 20s, and I also think better than in the 40s and 50s.

[HarryLillis]

I've just listened to the Joni James version,,,,,and,not surprisingly, it's not a patch on the Bing Crosby 1931 version, in the expressing of the emotion of the song. It's not fair really to compare anyone with Bing between 1930 and 1935.

[paulostroff99]

Memorable! Bravo! TY

[waynebrasler]

The greatest recording of this song is worth finding. It is by Joni James on the album "Little Girl Blue" and it is nothing less than thrilling. David Terry's horn-drenched arrangement and James Morreale's searing trumpet solo perfectly set off James' impassioned vocal, very clearly inspired by her heroine Sarah Vaughan (Sarah, Ella and Billie Holiday were her inspirations).

[KellyGiftShop]

Everything and everyone ..so glamorous and elegant back then.

[VintageLady1980]

Gotta love Bing! Great slideshow featuring some of my faves! :D

[78timothy]

Back up band from 1931 for Brunswick included Matty Malneck on Violin, but also was led by Victor Young, Hymie Schertzer or Mannie Klein on Trumpet.

[robgems2]

@78timothy Talking rubbish,3 violins,2 trumpets,piano,guitar,string bass. ,unidentified studio orch unless you was there..1931 Victor Young had Joe Venuci,Harry Hoffman,Walter Edelstein,Lou Kosloff on violins.Sterlin Bose,Frank Guarante,Bob Effros on trumpets.Matty Malneck could't play 3 violins at the same time.

[FoPo4]

Doesnt compare with Alfalfa's Our Gang rendition :)

[akmediascope]

As a film student, I had great fun making a game out of identifying the actors-- I was better with the men than the women. Love these films of the 1930's! The early talkies. Silents are my favs.

[gramophoneshane]

How long, and how many recordings did Bing make for Brunswick in the early years?

I've got a huge collection of his disc's, but nothing on Brunswick until "Go West Young Man". Everything else is Columbia, Decca or Festival (except his Whiteman recordings of course)

[bostonblakie]

Classic early Crosby, evocative of the era dominated by the depression but which at the same time was quickly establishing a mass "American" culture made possible by radio, "talkies," phonograph records, national magazines and the "New Deal."

[edgrosso]

The "it" of Crosby is the entertainment values in his renditions. He didn't just sing to you he made you participate in the joy that he was having in singing some great songs. Thanks for posting this one. A great find. Ed

[jaytlr9]

@edgrosso Great description of the "it" of Crosby.

[murraymae]

@jaytlr9

"IT" means SEX, plain and simple. Crosby had talent and IT in spades in the early 30's. Check out "Please", and "Down By The River".

[albertdiner]

Great song. Marilyn Monroe sang it in Billy

Wilder's SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959). I read that

it was the favorite song of playwrite Arthur

Miller, ( Marilyn Monroe's husband).

Bing Crosby's voice changed over the years.

[TeXUSR]

Woody Allen sang it too in 'Everyone Says I Love You' (1996)

[moviefann]

natalie portman...and i first heard this in some like it hot!

[barbcard]

Thanks for taking me into the very "living room" of the Depression. Der Bingel, though hardly a robust singer, wasn't that bad after all.

[barbcard]

It's American and was a popular nickname for him. Can't explain the German; maybe, just maybe, it was a Yiddish contribution?

[victoriaphibes]

Have been searching around the Internet and found that "der Bingel" is an affectionate nickname given to Crosby by German soldiers in WWII who also listened to and loved his music. Americans picked up the nickname and from there it stuck.

[barbcard]

Thank you for your research re Der Bingel. Interesting story, too, about the German soldiers.

[patthecatman]

@barbcard "...wasn't that bad..."(??). like saying the pope isn't " that bad" a catholic.
