Having listened to several other Crosby recordings from this era with both Paul Whiteman's and Frankie Trumbauer's Orchestras, I'm certain this is Bing Crosby. His voice changed somewhat with time. Perhaps he used a megaphone in these early recordings?

I also have doubts about this being Bing. I have heard other recordings by Bing with Whiteman and he is more recognisable than this track. The vibrato in the voice seems very different than Crosby's. Maybe the youth of Crosby may be fooling us!

Well recorded and preserved.But is the vocalist really Bing?
Sounds different to his other contemporary recordings.

Marvelous quality. Great song.

BTW The vocalist is Bing Crosby, Paul W is the bandleader.

for a recording that is almost 80 years old this sounds great. the orchestral instruments are all really 'old-timey' and fun sounding. no hiss no scratches, it's great. the vocalist Paul Whiteman sounds great. I don't know his work, I just grabbed his stuff from the 78 rpm section top batting average. great old sound from the past. Lots of orchestra, not too much singing in the 2:58 of the song.
