I LOVE This AWESOME Crosby Record! Funny, I have noticed that around 1935 to 37 everything was supposed to be a year ahead (ie) "The Big Broadcast of 1936" Made in 1935! I have a lot of Records that are like this! Some were late enough, it may as well have been the next year!
_Mississippi_ had one of the strongest scores of all Bing's films. This "Soon," though not quite up to the level of either "It's Easy to Remember," Rodgers & Hart's masterpiece from the film, or the other "Soon," by the Gershwins, is nevertheless a delicately beautiful tune. Bing's reading is accordingly extremely nuanced and lovely -- one of his finest records, IMO. Interestingly, a smoldering feud erupted between the film's star and its songwriters, when Bing insisted that Stephen Foster's "Swannee River"/"Old Folks At Home" be included in the soundtrack, arousing the ire of the proud Rodgers & Hart. Bing wouldn't again touch a song by the team until 1956's great _Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings_ LP, for which he magnanimously recorded four gems -- "Mountain Greenery," "Blue Room," "Have You Met Miss Jones?" and "I've Got Five Dollars."
