I LOVE this Record, and this song just gives Me a thrill anyway, ever since I first heard it via My Bing Crosby Brunswick 78. Crown Records are just FANTASTIC anyway.

As it said on the Crown record sleeves, "Two Hits for Two Bits !"

Very nice..some of the easiest listening I have ever heard. :)

Just because I don't always comment dosen't mean Im not checking out and enjoying all your great songs. Keep em coming.

Will do, Carol.

One should never entrust another with -- or fall victim to -- that degree of power! Though I consider Elmer to be one of the greatest vocalists of the day, I have to give top honors to the Bing take, which includes the beautiful verse and a superb Jimmy Dorsey clarinet solo. Perhaps impeded slightly by this somewhat more brisk tempo, Elmer still delivers an earnest but understated reading.

I love Elmer Feldkamp as well. I was sad to learn that he died young at 36 years old in 1938 due to heart failure.

Funny, Crosby's version was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that this title was coming up. As much as I like Bing's rendition and his band's ( forgot who) this is excellent too. The two singers were different. The young Bing caressed - actually teased - a song, really its female listener, whereas Elmer and the others just sang it. Both approaches have their merits, depending on the setting. Though early Crosby's " It" factor - and his shrewdness and wise investing later - made him a multimillionaire. The Crown house band is super here, as usual.

@@gregorypalmer5403 I think "studio orchestra" is the only designation on Bing's version. Right, the Crown records with vocals weren't intended to compete with the Crosby "crooner" style but were merely designed to be a dance band treatment with a vocal chorus.

As always, Bings take is of course the best.....

So fresh and uplifting!

Ray Noble/Al Bowlly deserves a hearing. Taken slower and more multi-layered

I am not particularly fond of Al Bowlly

A commercial right in the middle of a song I see the web is going to be just as tacky As television really it's pathetic you think we move along and have some clue

For my money nothing matches the Ray Noble/Al Bowlly version, not even Bing. Elmer Feldkamp sings the notes, but ge doesn't really emote, the tempo is too jaunty as are the skipping phrases.

All yours, guys. If Elmer Fudd could sing. Did some o.k. vocals, but lacking testosterone. Thank God for Bing. P.S. First 5 notes um, borrowed from "Get Out and Get Under the Moon, used thematically throughout. Kiddies, don't steal too obviously. Obviously...
