Where the Blue of the Night (Meets the Gold of the Day)
- Where the Blue of the Night (Meets the Gold of the Day)
"Where the Blue of the Night (Meets the Gold of the Day)" was the theme Bing Crosby selected for his radio show. It was recorded in November 1931, backed by Bennie Krueger's band.
The song was originally "When the Gold of the Day Meets the Blue of the Night", but the title was changed before recording. Because Crosby contributed to the verse, writers Roy Turk and Fred E. Alhert included him in the copyright (and thereby ongoing royalties). Although the song was popular and successful, Crosby did not take special pride in having written it, saying much later, "I really think I'd trade anything I've ever done if I could have written just one hit song."
The song was recorded also in 1969 by The Bachelors, a popular Irish band.
