/r/Music1940s
I know this might be fascinating to myself, but the history is really interesting of how music, radio flowed out tracks 80/90 years ago. I guess back in the day when a track was a big hit on the Hit Parade, many artists flocked to record the same track. So I’ve noticed Tony Pastor recorded it, which I think is my current favorite rendition so far, but the Andrew Sisters also did it. Freddy Martin, Dorris Day even did a live countdown on a radio show of what was in the top 10 in the country.
Another track that comes to mind is “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” with Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark being my favorite of that track, but dozens of artists recorded that one. From my understanding all of these versions hit the top 10, so the formula worked back in that time. Kinda cool having a particular choice of artist for the same track. I don’t think you called this a covered song since they all released it at the same time period.
