'Mister Christmas' - The Christmas songs associated with Bing
Browsing around the internet (as I do in the odd idle moment) I stumbled on quite an interesting Blog entitled 'The Big 10-Inch Record' run by someone called 'Buster'.
Buster has posted a large number of LPs, which being 10 inch are from the very beginning of the LP era. And very interesting they are too. But what caught my attention is recent posting
- an interesting collection of Christmas songs. No Bing. But all are songs associated (at least in my mind) with Bing, and including 'White Christmas' in a quite passable performance by Monica Lewis.
I then had a quick look through my 'non Bing' Christmas LPs (and CDs). I cannot find one with at least something on it that was covered by Bing.
Does such a thing exist as an LP from the 1940s/ 1950s of Christmas songs without a track having been covered by Bing at some stage? In some ways this is very non-Bing, but I throw down a challenge to those prepared to take it up. Identify for me a Christmas themed LP from the period up to say 1960 on which there is no track covered by Bing at some stage. I'd be interested to see how many it might be possible to find.
