My Kinda Love

About My Kinda Love

"My Kinda Love", also recorded as "My Kind of Love", is a popular song with music by Louis Alter and lyrics by Jo Trent, published in 1929. The song was used in the short lived Americana show in 1928. Bing Crosby recorded the song on three occasions. The first was with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra recorded on January 26, 1929 for Okeh Records.. The writer, Gary Giddins commenting on the session said "Best of all is "My Kinda Love," a flimsy song that he projects stirringly without a trace of the frangible crooning style. " Crosby re-recorded the song a few weeks later on March 14, 1929 with a trio for Columbia Records and this was the first occasion that he would be top-billed on a record. In 1954, Crosby recorded the song again for his album Bing: A Musical Autobiography. more »
