Am I wrong in thinking Perry Como ?
May 25, 2014 at 3:47 pm
MDH,
Yes, I think Bing Crosby i the one.

I am sure you are right but I am going ….COMO !
May 25, 2014 at 4:03 pm
MDH,
I am sure you are meaning Lake Como, because it was Crosby!
May 25, 2014 at 4:04 pm
Yea, but my boy Perry Como did a killer cover version…..Como ruled.
May 25, 2014 at 4:05 pm
MDH,
I am also a Como fan!

Magic Moments…Perry was Legend

MDH,
He seemed so gently and so laid back. I would never miss his Christmas shows. Loved those sweaters of his and his Ave Maria.

I should have known that, Bob. It is also the name of one of his son’s.

Kat, I’m not sure what we looked forward to most during the summer season at Meadowbrook in the early 80s, Andy Williams, Victor Borge or Perry Como.

MDH,
I’m with you and Andy and Perry but not Victor.

I’ve never heard this version of this song, and it is one of my favorites. I’ll be humming it all day, as I swing on my star, trying to figure out where or who I’ve heard this song before.

Lori,
My first was Bing Crosby, and I’ve loved the song since then. It definitely can produce an ear worm.
I love the words and the sentiment.

Here’s it is by Big Dee Irwin & Little Eva:

Marie,
That would be one of those things your eyes just ignore like double the.
May 25, 2014 at 6:53 pm
Thanks, Marie!

I absolutely love this! What soul! Thank you so much.
May 26, 2014 at 9:16 am
Cuidado,
I had this one in my files as it is also a favorite of mine. Love Dave van Ronk.

You’re very welcome, Cuidado!

I’ve never heard this version either. I think the version I am familiar with was by Frank Sinatra. Either way it’s a great song.

Bob,
Bing first sang it in 1944 in Going My Way. This version is from 1968. Frank’s was made in 1964. The song has been covered by so many it would take a while to list them.

Trivia question: what was Bing’s real first name? No fair looking it up on Google 🙂
May 25, 2014 at 9:55 pm
Bob,
I have no idea!
May 26, 2014 at 6:12 am
First time I heard this version and I love it!
May 26, 2014 at 9:17 am
Cuidado,
Dave does it well! I loved it the first time I heard it on the radio.
May 27, 2014 at 9:59 am
Thanks Kat.
I’m glad you enjoyed it again, and so many others discovered via Coffee.

PS I know I haven’t commented in a while. Still read and listen regularly. Thanks!

You are most welcome, J.
I am glad to know you’re still around. You have been part of the Coffee family for a long time so I’d hate to lose you!
