Perry Como with Ted Weems Orch -That Old Gang Of Mine-1939

Well, here's another by Perry when he sang with The Ted Weems Band. This was cut for Decca Records during 1939. Perry was with Ted from 1936, until 1942. Weems broke up the band to join the Merchant Marine. Many band leaders did the same during the war. Artie Shaw and Glenn Miller were a couple of more who went into the service. Perry thought he might have to go back to being a barber, but as it turned out, he stuck with singing, and ain't we the lucky ones. I remember this song and "I wonder who's kissing her now", being played on juke boxes in bars during the 60's & 70's.
