Have a listen to this favorite at my house -- Bing Crosby's rendition of "The Headless Horseman" from the Disney cartoon The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which is the second half of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949). Here Bing performs it on his radio show on
October 26, 1949, ably assisted by John Scott Trotter directing the orchestra and The Rhythmaires on background vocals.

Next Thursday, we move abruptly to another holiday -- when my book, Christmas in Classic Films is published. More on that next week. Until then, enjoy your Halloween treats and, hopefully, no tricks.
I have very fond memories of watching Disney's version of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" on The Wonderful World of Disney!
ReplyDeleteMe, too!
ReplyDeleteClassic film actors, like Bing, had such distinctive voices. Today’s stars, with a few exceptions, sound so bland and all the same.
ReplyDeleteI think so, too.
