About The Record:
Say One for Me, by Bing Crosby, Debbie Reynolds, and Robert Wagner with Lionel Newman and His Orchestra, is the soundtrack album to the musical film of the same name that pairs the veteran crooner with rising stars in a story involving a priest helping show business performers. The album features songs written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn, including a version of the Christmas standard The Secret of Christmas with additional vocals from Reynolds and Wagner that differs from the film cut, offering a unique collaborative twist. Historically it represents one of Bing Crosby's later film musical efforts blending traditional ballads with attempts at contemporary rock and roll numbers like The Night That Rock And Roll Died (Almost) and cha-cha elements for the younger cast. Fan-favorites often include the title track and I Couldn't Care Less for their showcase of the stars' vocal interplay amid the film's holiday-themed narrative. Lionel Newman's orchestral work earned an Oscar nomination for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.
