Awhile back I posted Tommy Dorsey's version of "Yes, Indeed!", which featured the arranger, Sy Oliver, and Jo Stafford on vocals. Today, I've got the version with Bing Crosby and Connee Boswell, backed by brother Bob Crosby and his Bobcats (I believe that's Billy Butterfield with the cool muted trumpet). This is a more laid back version, and there's considerably more banter between Crosby and Boswell than there was between the singers in the original. From 1940.

Bing was the original cool dude.
Conneee Boswell had good lungs, those sustained tremolos, wow.
She certainly did have a great set of pipes, and the skill to use them to maximum advantage. You may have recognized her as one-third of the Boswell Sisters trio, a very popular vocal group in the 1930s.
