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.
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.
