jimbo2021 26th Oct 2024 | | 78 RPMDon Clark And His Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel Orchestra - I've Got The Girl! / Idolizing (1927) | Side A was recorded in Los Angeles on Monday, October 18, 1926.
Apparently, Bing Crosby said, "We bootlegged a couple of discs in abandoned warehouses...where the orchestra was set up among the packing cases."
Am also reading..
Another title was recorded, almost certainly including participation by Bing Crosby and Al Rinker - "Don't Somebody Need Somebody" Col W142786, but it has not survived.
Al Rinker did vocals on Side A with Mr. Crosby.
Bing's next recording date was in Chicago on Wednesday, December 22, same year.
