Kraft Music Hall -1943/1944 songs
I was digging through some of the CDs that a late friend made for me of Kraft Music Hall songs. Bing sure was in fine voice in 1943/1944...

Wonderful songs David, Thanks for uploading, Bing is in fine voice in all of them, those were his really golden years, he was bigger than ever in the 1940s. Shoo shoo baby stands out.

David, I don't remember the first Crosby song I heard on the radio (we called it the wireless) but it may have been one of them. In the 1940s Aussies couldn't avoid hearing Bing on the radio. I lived in Melbourne (Australia's second-largest city) and in 1947 there were almost seven hours of programs each week which played only Crosby records.

I went back and dug up some more radio songs from that era. Bing was in great voice...

Very nice songs, who is the female voice before the Cuddle Up song, Trudy Erwin perhaps? And the duet with Eugenie Baird is really great. My Ideal is also an overlooked gem.
