This compilation includes Hoagy Carmichael's first recording of Stardust (instrumental) from 1927 and his sixth recording of the same tune in 1942. As mentioned in another post, lyrics weren't added until 1929 by Mitchell Parrish. Chick Bullock recorded the first vocal version the next year. This series was produced by France Telecom Foundation, and included cds of Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Lena Horne, Lee Wiley, the Boswell Sisters and more. I don't know if the series continued after volume 18 or not. Enjoy. +

Wow !
Chester Proudfoot you made my day. Besides the gem of Chick Bullock, you have more versiones of Stardust here in your blog.
Thank you for all of them, I'll get them all. I love this song. Is Bing Crosby here?
Best Regards from Spain
I'm pretty sure I have Crosby's version somewhere. If I do, I'll post it this week.
Great !!
thank you
I am uploading the 4-disc set of Crosby as I type. Stardust is on disc one. Look for it in a couple of hours or so.
