phil crosby disputed gary's book as "rantings" and called his brother a "dirty, rotten liar". there are pros and cons to bing's personal life; he was a stanch catholic for most of it..

i heard crosby doing this on an early 40's radio recording. he introduced it as being written by a young man, i believe named hamby. by the way, crosby's treatment of the song was simply beautiful.

@patthecatman J R HANBY. You're absolutely right. Bing did a great job of any song he sang. Too bad he abused his children, to the point of Gary killing himself. Not much of a legacy to leave behind. But, yes, he was the best.

Very lovely rendition. This has been called the "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" of ante-bellum songs. However, this wasn't written by Foster (common mistake), although it definitely sounds like his work. Written in 1856 by Benjamin Russell Hanby, an American composer who wrote approximately 80 songs, including "Darling Nelly Gray", the Christmas song "Up on the House Top", and the hymn "Who Is He In Yonder Stall?".
Also, a "folk song" technically has no known author, place, date, etc.
