I uploaded to my You Tube channel some of the rarer recordings that Bing made from 1948 to 1949 including all of the songs from the movie Riding High. Bing was in good voice but sometimes the songs were not up to par with his talent. You can see all the videos here:

I will also be uploading most of the new recordings to the Internet Archive. It is easy to download from there, but it is time consuming to upload the recordings there. My collection there is: https://archive.org/details/@a_trip_down_memory_lane if anyone is interested!
ENJOY!

I went to your Internet Archive site and bookmarked it. Looks like you've got a lot of interesting songs there. I listened to your Helen Ward song, I used one of her songs in my recent shows, but never heard the one you have there. One of these days I'm gonna figure a way to post my Jean Shepherd shows there. It seems to be simple compared to the hoops you need to jump thru on Utube.

I've been using YouTube now for six years now and I just started using Internet Archive this year. You Tube is easier to upload to, but Internet Archive is MUCH easier to download music from so I use both.
