[Crosby, Bing. (1903–1977)] Barris, Harry. (1905–1962) & Moll, Billy. (1905–1968). So The Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together. New York: Shapiro Bernstein & Co.. 1929. Rare sheet music of this Barris/Moll song, with the cover advertising it as "Featured with Great Success by Paul Whiteman's Rhythm Boys," and including a playful inset photograph of the singing trio, with the very young Bing Crosby, Harry Barris and Al Rinker. 5 pages, separating along spine, otherwise fine condition. Very uncommon, one of the earliest printed references to Bing Crosby, from the start of his celebrated career.
Crosby and Rinker began performing together in 1925 and were recruited by Paul Whiteman in late 1926, with pianist/singer/songwriter Barris joining the team in 1927. As "The Rhythm Boys," they made a number of recordings with the Whiteman Orchestra and released singles in their own right with Barris on piano. They appeared with the Whiteman orchestra in the film "King of Jazz" (Universal Pictures, 1930), in which they sang Mississippi Mud, I'm a Fisherman, Bench in the Park, Happy Feet, and the present song, So the Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together.
