On the Happy Side is a long-playing vinyl album recorded by Bing Crosby for his own company, Project Records, and issued by Warner Bros. Records (W1482) in 1962.[1] The album is in a “sing along” style and Crosby over-dubbed his vocals on accompaniment recorded in London earlier in April 1962.[2] The musical arrangements were by Bob Thompson, Jack Halloran, and Peter Matz. The album was issued on CD for the first time in 2017 by Sepia Records.[3]
Billboard said: “This is one of Bing’s best albums in some time. He sings a collection of old favorites in straight style, aided by good ork arrangements…Good songs, well sung, and plenty of time, should help this set sell."[4]
