The Rhythm Boys
From www.redhotjazz.com
I did a bit of research from the excruciatingly complete Bing Crosby discography at http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Crosby/crosby1a.html , compared it with the massive amount of Paul Whiteman stuff that I have. I found that a lot of recordings from different sources have some incorrect info on personnel on recordings listed as being by The Rhythm Boys. For this list, I'm only posting songs that feature all three of The Rhythm Boys, sometimes alone as vocalists, and some other selections that have three plus some other additional vocalists.
It's pretty close to the discography, as close as from my collection, anyway. There are a few tunes I'm looking for. If this is a list you are interested in, and you have access to some other recordings by the group....please comment.
