Lou Preager - Cruising Down The River - 1945
Three years before it became a major 1949 song hit in the U.S., this 1946 recording had been one of that year’s biggest hits in the United Kingdom as recorded by England’s popular Lou Preager and his Orchestra. “ Cruising Down The River ” had been the winning entry years earlier in a public songwriting competition, submitted by two middle-aged women (Eily Beadell and Nell Tollerton). Two American versions of the song reached the top of the Billboard charts in 1949.
The original 78rpm single was issued on (UK) Columbia FB-3180 - Cruising Down The River (Eily Beadell-Nell Tollerton) by Lou Preager & his Orchestra , vocals by Paul Rich , recorded December 7, 1945.
