Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar

by Glenn Miller
on Platinum Glenn Miller

Lyrics

In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
He can play piano any way that you like it
But the way he likes it best is eight to the bar

Tex , Phil Harris wasn't with Glenn either!
I keep thinking I hear a bit Of Bing Crosby in the voice but Phil Harris is a good guess too! I don't think Bing ever sang with Glenn Miller Band.
I'm making a wild guess but I think its Phil Harris singing... the voice of Baloo in the Jungle Book. I can't find any references to who did the vocals on this track anywhere. It just sounds exactly like Phil Harris to me.
Glenn Miller doesn't sing
marit.johnso n
Is it Glenn Miller himself sing on this song or someone else?? I like this song though
