Notes: ~ This song was included within a tribute to Bing Crosby which Perry performed several times

in live performance and on his well known television specials throughout the 1980s.  The tribute was

again featured in live performance on a 1989 PBS television special with the Boston Pops and John

Williams which included an encore performance with Perry singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings"

interspersed with Crosby and Como video footage from their 1960 television shows where each was

the guest of the other. This PBS Special was repeated many times during the years following.

 

Bing Crosby Medley

 

Notes: ~ the title of this song was derived from a note in Stephen Foster's handwriting found in his

pocket after his death. Popular recordings by Bing Crosby (Decca), Dinah Shore (Columbia) and

Gordon MacRae (Capitol). The song was on "Your Hit Parade" for fifteen weeks.
