1950 studio album by Bing Crosby. Ann Blyth
Top o' the Morning / Emperor Waltz Decca Records studio album ofphonograph records byBing Crosby of songs from his moviesTop o' the Morning The Emperor Waltz
Bing Crosby had recorded the songs from his filmTop o' the Morning in May and June 1949 and these were released on two separate 78 records to tie in with the film’s premiere on August 31, 1949. Following the development of the vinylLP record byColumbia Records in 1948, Decca issued a plethora of Crosby albums in that format. Many were simply reissues of earlier 78rpm albums butTop o' the Morning / Emperor Waltz appears to be the first 10" LP not to have been issued as a 78rpm album. As the four songs fromTop o' the Morning only filled one side of the LP, Decca added the four songs from the successfulBing Crosby – The Emperor Waltz
Billboard reviewed the songs from “Top o’ the Morning” when they were issued as singles, saying:[ 1]
Oh, ‘Tis Sweet to Think The Donovans Barry Fitzgerald ’s phiz. Special stuff—may appeal in the Gaelic nabes.You’re in Love with Someone Top o’ the Morning
