1944 HITS ARCHIVE: Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t (Ma’ Baby) - Bing Crosby & Andrews Sisters

Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t (Ma’ Baby) (Austin-Jordan) by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, orchestra conducted by Vic Schoen

Universal’s all-star morale-boosting film “Follow The Boys” (aka “Three Cheers For The Boys”) featured the 1944 song hits “I’ll Walk Alone” “Shoo-Shoo Baby” and this tune, performed on-screen by its co-writer Louis Jordan. Both his version and this one by Bing and the Andrews Sisters peaked at the #2 spot on Billboard’s pop singles charts.

THE 1944 HITS ARCHIVE - a collection of commercial recordings and songs that proved popular during the calendar year 1944 via sales, sheet music, juke box play, and radio exposure.…plus some others that have gained increased recognition or have been shown to have had an impact during the decades that followed. You’ll note that due to the long-running ‘recording ban’ (musician’s union strike against the record companies), quite a number of this year’s best-sellers were recordings made back in 1942 or earlier.
