Bings' 1944 radio recording of 'My blue Heaven' (on last Sunday's BBC radio program presented by Howard Leader), which I''d not heard before. I listen each week at my leisure because his programs are archived and often include a Bing record.

I think I just discovered that recording as well this past summer. He does a great job on it.

Lately I've been listening to Bing's 1960s album Sings the Great Country Hits, because I've been thinking about writing a piece for BING Magazine about it. It finds Bing embracing the Nashville Sound that was very popular in country music at the time, and it's a surprisingly effective album that hasn't gotten too much recognition.

I heard a rumor that Bing had a cold when he recorded the album. I'm not sure where I read that. I'll see if I can find the info out. I'll have to give a listen to it.
 

The last Bing recordings I heard were from his Philco Radio Time program of 8 January 1947: 'Zipp a dee doo dah', 'Gotta get me someone to love', 'A gal in calico', 'Until the next time' (with Mickey Rooney), 'It's a good day' (with Peggy Lee) and 'For you, for me, for ever more'. Why did i listen to them? Greg Van Beek included the transcript of the program in his last NOSTALGIA RADIO TIME program.

Here are the latest five recordings that came over my MP3 player:

1. When The World Was Young
2. In The Good Old Summertime (from Seasons album)
3. The Thing (radio recording with Fred Astaire)
4. Sugar (with Louis Armstrong)
5. Again (radio recording with Peggy Lee)

I know I've read that somewhere, too, but I am not sure where. I suppose it'll come up at some point as I keep doing some research for my article on the album. And yes, I do encourage you to give the album a listen. It's a pretty good one, though often overlooked!

On this lazy Monday morning at work, I have listened to these five recordings:

1. But Beautiful
2. Hush-A- Bye
3. Let's Be Buddies (radio recording with Connee Boswell)
4. Ol Man River (Paul Whiteman - 1928 version)
5.The Gypsy In My Soul (radio recording)
