That was a relaxed rendition wasn't it. The first opportunity which Australians had to buy Bing's recording of his theme song didn't come until February 1941 then the 1940 version was released here. It was backed by 'I'm Waiting For Ships That never Come In'. It was a big seller and remained in the shops until 1955.

Re: Bob Crosby - Where The Blue Of The Night

Nice version in Bob’s easy relaxed way.
The opening piano playing reminds me a bit of Errol Garner.
Saw Errol and he was a tiny bloke.
Oscar Peterson was a big bloke.
Preferred Errol over Oscar, who wandered too far away from the actual tune.
