xiphophilos 14th Nov 2015		A Side: B Side:
xiphophilos 1st Nov 2015		Review The A Side contains one of the slowest renditions of "On The Sunny Side Of The Street" I've ever heard. It swings mostly because Lionel Hampton plays wonderful vibraphone and breaks up Crosby's straightforward singing of the lyrics with a few comic asides. On the B Side (Pinetop's Boogie Woogie"), Bing Crosby plays the role of dance caller, telling the audience to stop or boogie woogie at his signal. At some point one wishes Bing would simply shut up and let us enjoy the music. Here's what the Billboard reviewer had to say. 2 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
