Re: Louis Armstrong Sings Happy Birthday To Bing Crosby

Yes, it's a great track...

It was released as a bonus track on a CD release of the "Bing & Satchmo" album on the Essential Jazz Classics label. EJC55477. It seems to be out of print at the moment, but it's worth seeking out on eBay, etc.
It's a very nicely produced album.

When I used to present 'Mainly Bing' on Community Radio, I always had a spot and played Bing's 'Happy Birthday' to wish anyone having a birthday - yesterday, today or tomorrow or whenever.
