Description
White Christmas (Berlin) by Bing Crosby with the Ken Darby Singers, orchestra conducted by John Scott Trotter
Though Bing’s 1942 recording of “White Christmas” was long cited as the top-selling track of all time, that is not quite accurate. The hugely popular original 78, issued in conjunction with the release of the 1942 movie “Holiday Inn,” had remained in circulation for only five years before the master was retired and replaced by this posted version....the very familiar-sounding 1947 Crosby remake. Henceforth it was only this slightly different re-do that was reissued regularly on 78, 45, LP, and cassette for the following several decades....and it’s the only commercially recorded Bing version of “White Christmas” that the majority of people have ever heard. Always a favorite around the holidays, this new pressing reached #3 on the best-sellers chart in December ’47.
Other Crosby tunes in this collection include “A Gal In Calico” “How Soon” “You Do” “Tallahassee” and “Whiffenpoof Song.”
