First Song-A Touch Of The Blues

Crosby Cloney number 17 for broadcast Tuesday, March 22nd, 1960. Hello everybody. Hi Rosemary. Hi Bing. You get to commence the proceedings with a bit of song, Rosie. Why you're very sweet to ask me, Bing. I'll just do that little thing.

You're the very one that can do it too, Jim. What's the selection, Rosemary? Some call the touch of the blues, Ken. And may I say that a touch is enough. Just a touch is plenty.

I'm just wondering how many times can I die So much Yes, I've got a touch of the blue We're so much. Yes, I've got a touch of the... Wonderful Rosie. Yeah, I wish I'd been singing with you.

You and I sing lots of songs together, don't we? We sure do. I've been wondering, I don't ever upset you when we sing, do I? Never. Not a chance of that. Why do you ask?

Well, I know how temperamental men's singers are. They can be anyway, and I didn't want to rub you the wrong way, that's all. No, no, there's no temperament with me, Rosie. Through some men singers are temperamental, but nothing.
