Here's a couple of tracks where Sinatra sings Bing hits from the radio - nice sounds on them!

As one would expect, Sinatra sang those two songs well, didn't he. Thanks Lobosco for enabling me to hear those recordings for the first time. Sinatra demonstrated his versatility. I presume he sang them early in 1944. I reckon Bing's recording of 'Swinging on a Star' was enhanced by the presence of the Williams Brothers. Incidentally, I liked the photos and wonder who the five vocalists in one of the snapshots were.

I'm not sure which picture you were referring to? I thought they were all solo pics of Sinatra. I recently found four cds that Larry Kiner of Redmond Nostalgia fame produced and put out. All featured great Sinatra numbers from that era of the 1940s.

I must have been dreaming. Yes, all solos.
