Silhouetted In The Moonlight (1937) - Bob Crosby

I swear there’s a pile of unreleased Bob Crosby singles with his vocals they’re so rare 😂 great find!

Bob, with his fast vibrato (for which he mysteriously blamed Tommy Dorsey, from when the younger Crosby sang with the Dorsey Brothers orch in '34-'35), has never been a favourite vocalist of mine, but I do consider this to be one of his best sides. For starters, I love this tune, from WB's _Hollywood Hotel_ -- but, more than that, I think Bob does a pretty fair job on the sweet lyric. The hot Crosby band, so marvelous on the trad jazz instrumentals they favoured, often sounds a little clunky on ballads -- but endearingly so. Eddie Miller and Yank Lawson contribute ace solos!
