Magazine advertisement: Chesterfield cigarettes (1949)
Single: He made the very first recording of the
Jerome Kern-
Oscar Hammerstein II classic "Ol' Man River" (from "Show Boat") with
Paul Weston and His Orchestra, in January 1928, only three weeks after the show opened on
Broadway. Crosby's version was intended for dancing, and was radically (and, some say, ridiculously) different--fast and upbeat, with the song's tragic lyric treated extremely lightly and off-handedly.
Single: He made the very first recording of
Noel Regney's Christmas song "Do You Hear What I Hear?", on November 25, 1963, the day of President
John F. Kennedy's funeral.
CD (w/
Bob Hope): "Bing Crosby/Bob Hope: Two of a Kind" (USP)

CD: "My Favorite Irish Songs" (USP)
