I love the band of Charlie Spivak, and here is his 1941 version of the Bing classic I Surrender Dear - one of my favorite early Bing hits...

I don't think Carlie Spivak's band was well known in Australia although David Kent's Australian Chart Book 1940-1969 credits him with having five Aussie chart hits between 1943 (My Devotion) and 1947 (Linda). I think I remember seeing his name on a photo of the marquee of a US cinema when Going My Way was being screened but perhaps I'm mistaken.

Great memories of Charlie Spivak! I didn't know about his son - thanks Archiefit!
