Bing Crosby Sings Cole Porter Songs is a Decca Records studio 78rpm album of phonograph records by Bing Crosby featuring the songs of Cole Porter.

Background

Bing Crosby had enjoyed unprecedented success during the 1940s with his discography showing six No. 1 hits in 1944 alone. His films such as Going My Way and The Bells of St. Mary's were huge successes as were the Road films he made with Bob Hope. On radio, his Kraft Music Hall and Philco Radio Time shows were very popular. Decca Records built on this by issuing a number of 78rpm album sets, some featuring freshly recorded material and others utilizing Crosby's back catalogue. Ten of these sets were released in 1946, nine in 1947 and eleven more in 1948.
Bing Crosby Sings Cole Porter Songs includes several songs which had already enjoyed chart success. "I Love You" was a No. 1 hit in 1944 and "Night and Day" charted as well.^[1]

Reception

Billboard reviewed the album, saying:

"Crosby singing Porter standards is calculated to be a sure-fire formula, and this album will doubtless enjoy a good sale. Sides were all cut in recent years, however, and some of them aren't top calibre for the Groaner. However, the incomparable Crosby intelligence and projection are there, even if the voice sometimes isn't, and his interpretations are impressive. This is his second album of Porter tunes, but the selection is fine, with all the ditties familiar favorites, with the possible exception of 'I Never Realized'. Subdued and competent backgrounds by John Scott Trotter. Retail rating 80."^[2]
