Nice hearing John Scott Trotter's name come up in this. A great studio band that followed Crosby from 1936 for at least 10 years afterward. Though he had some solo records of just his own band which are worth checking out.
More than 10 years, Mr. Porter. John worked with Bing through the 1960's- on his weekly radio series, TV specials, his 1964-'65 sitcom, and frequent appearances on "THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE". Crosby valued Trotter's input on his musical numbers- *and* he had the best musicians in the business under his baton.
Recorded on September 25, 1937. Accompanied by John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra (his credit was omitted on this release). Originally released on {American} Decca 25430.
Thank you for sharing this great version of this number.
What a beautiful song i love it
Wonderful song

@@fromthesidelines wasn't Crosby with Vic Meyers or Gordon Jenkins by 1946 or 1947?
He collaborated with them, yes- but Trotter was always his first choice.

Abe Lincoln's trombone opening statement alone is worth listening to this recording. Some fine preachin'!
