[78-L] Xmas Music

[David Lennick]

Margaret LEINHART (not Lenhart) sings on one side, I'll Capture Your Heart (the 
one with Fred Astaire). All the other Holiday Inn songs are solos by Bing, 
recorded May 25-June 1, 1942..no female voice on White Christmas except in the 
movie (and on Sountrak 112, and that was just a good guess on my part about 
Martha Mears).
