Bing and songs with lady names.
I would love to make a CD of Bing singing all the lady name songs like Dolores, Linda and Katrina. Love how Bing sings these songs! How many are there? Anyone know? I will have to do research. Please respond before my post is taken off. Someone don't want women to post here. I guess if I wanted to contribute to the magazine I will be refused too?

Re: Bing and songs with lady names.
Hi Carmela,
Bing sang a lot of great women's names. I actually made a CD of them years ago! I'll have to dig it out.
I don't know what you mean about your posts getting deleted. Since I have been the admin, I have not deleted any of your posts. I find them interesting and fun.
Hope you are well!
David

Re: Bing and songs with lady names.
There is also, I think, Katrina.
Was there a song about Kate? Bing’s Mum.
Kiss Me Kate, was that just a film title or a song as well.?
Another song is Eileen - my Mum’s name.
