Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings was Bing Crosby's sixth LP, his first album for Verve, recorded and originally released in a mono format in 1956 as MGV 2020. Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings was a stylistic departure for Crosby, marking the first time he recorded an album with a hard-swinging orchestra along the lines of Frank Sinatra's hit album with Nelson Riddle, Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, released earlier the same year by Capitol. The songs are also among the rare few that Bing had never before recorded up to that point. Buddy Bregman contributed the orchestrations, conducted a hand-picked group of Hollywood's foremost musicians and came up with the idea of the album.
