Bing Crosby Sings Songs by George Gershwin

Bing Crosby Sings Songs by George Gershwin is a compilation album of phonograph records by Bing Crosby released in 1949 featuring songs written by George Gershwin.

Reception

Billboard was enthusiastic:

Crosby singing Gershwin tunes figures to be a winning parlay any time – and this album sounds like a winner, sure enough. Sides were made during recent various years, and it’s nice to be able to report that Croz was in form on each. Every tune here is a 20-carat imperishable, and plenty of earnest affection is lavished on each by Bing and the works of Trotter, Malneck and Victor Young.
