Russ Morgan and His Orchestra - Bye Bye Blackbird

Details

Description

Russ Morgan first recorded this song as the b-side to "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" in 1948, with the Ames Brothers doing the vocal chorus. This is a re-recording of that record, and it doesn't have the Ames Brothers, but it's still great! First recorded by Gene Austin, who charted #1 with it in July 1926. Also #4 for Nick Lucas in August 1926, #7 for Bennie Krueger and His Orchestra in September 1926, and #11 for Leo Reisman and His Orchestra in September 1926. It has been recorded by hundreds of artists over the years including Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Mitch Miller, Frank Sinatra, Tiny Tim, Mel Torme, Josephine Baker, Peggy Lee, Trini Lopez, Sarah Vaughan, and Georgia Brown.
