On this day in 1942,
Bing Crosby recorded the
Irving Berlin song "White Christmas" with the
John Scott Trotter Orchestra and the
Ken Darby Singers. The morning after Irving Berlin wrote "White Christmas" he went to his office and told his secretary,
"Grab your pen and take down this song. I just wrote the best song I've ever written — hell, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!" The song only took Crosby 18 minutes to track. Since 1942, this recording has sold over 400,000,000 copies, making it the biggest-selling record of any kind ever. Today we have the song
Bing Crosby by
BABY I LOVE YOU. Happy Friday!

Where can I find this band? So great, I want more!
Ooh, yeah, this is that band I was asking about one time. I have *one* other song called "Community College Life" which I could probably send you if you weren't so anonymous. :) And if that's okay with the folks here.
