Just to concur with those insisting this is Bing. There's not a shadow of doubt. This matches his style during his Whiteman Rhythm Boys days.
Sweet recording by the way. Thanks for uploaing.

Recorded Camden,N.J. January 27, 1928.
The full Whiteman orch. except Bix Beiderbecke and Jack Fulton. Bing Crosby vocals. I have a copy of Side by Side from April 1927 and Bing Crosby sounds much the same then.

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!

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.
