It is possible that the recording was done in San Francisco. After the initial release of “Around the World” with “Love in a Home” on the other side, Decca placed the Victor Young orchestral version on the reverse of Bing’s vocal and re-released it. This combination reached the No. 13 spot in the charts. This was also how it was sold in the UK and it helped it to peak at number five and remain in the charts for fifteen weeks.

A series of medleys with the Jack Halloran chorus and orchestra, recorded on 20, 23, 27 and 28 December 1960. The chorus and orchestra play throughout, but Bing does not sing on a few individual titles. The whole is in merry sing-a-long style and is to some extent untypical of Bing's usual output.

Some titles were re-dubbed with a Children's chorus, with some of the medleys re-arranged.
See entry for the session "Sing- Along With Bing".

A series of medleys with the Jack Halloran chorus and orchestra, recorded on 20, 23, 27 and 28 December 1960. The chorus and orchestra play throughout, but Bing does not sing on a few individual titles. The whole is in merry sing-a-long style and is to some extent untypical of Bing's usual output.

Some titles were re-dubbed with a Children's chorus, with some of the medleys re-arranged.
See entry for the session "Sing- Along With Bing".

The "Anthem Of The Clams" was recorded privately, probably at this session, in connection with a social/fishing group that Bing belonged to including Phil Harris, James Van Heusen and others, which became known as "The Clams"

All the songs were recorded by Bing in the sessions for the "Join Bing and Sing Along" LP of 17 December 1959 and "101 Gang Songs" of December 1960. At those sessions Bing had recorded over pre-recorded orchestral and choral tapes of the Jack Halloran chorus and Orchestra.
At some date afterwards Bing's vocal tracks, without the Jack Halloran chorus, were overdubbed with a Children's Camp chorus for issue on LP for sale through various US youth organisations, whose name was added to the LP sleeve. The medleys were also re-arranged. LPs were issued under the names of The Girl Scouts of America and various Youth Camps, usually under the title "Sing-Along With Bing".

Bing records a tribute to the late British singing star, Michael Holliday, which is played at a memorial concert in London on Sunday, April 19, 1964.

Announcer: Before the evening ends, Russ Conway introduces one last tribute from across the Atlantic.

Russ Conway: Ladies and Gentlemen, the voice of Bing Crosby.

Bing: I’m grateful indeed to have this opportunity, even if in absentia, to pay tribute to Michael Holliday and to participate in your benefit show. It’s a wonderful thing you’re doing. Michael was certainly a great artist and a loyal and true friend, and I lament with you, all of you, his premature passing from the scene before he had reached the fulfillment, the complete fulfillment of his considerable talent. I recall poignantly our encounters, our meetings, both in your country and in mine. Every time I came to England. Michael came to see me with his good wife Marjorie. They always made me feel that I mattered a good deal to them, and that’s nice. I admired his talent and I liked his warm friendly personality. I shall miss him. Thank you very much.
