Ichabod – The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a studio album of phonograph recordsbyBing Crosby released in 1949 narrating the famous 1820 Washington Irving short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

Background[edit]

Crosby had recorded the soundtrack for the "Ichabod" portion of the Walt Disney animated feature The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, which premiered in October 1949, and he recorded the story separately for Decca Records on June 23, 1949. The songs were written by Don Raye and Gene De Paul. Simon Rady was the director and Victor Young and His Orchestra provided the musical support.

Reception[edit]

Billboard reviewed the album, saying:

Combination of familiar elements should eliminate any sales-resistance to this package. There's Bing, Disney, Washington Irving, even a Victor Young score. As an actual kiddie special, the material doesn't match the Mr. Toad portion from the same cartoon feature. But for older children, this breezy, hip adaptation, and Bing's ditto projection should prove thoroughly winning. Portions of the songs are woven in, and adults too will find plenty of entertainment here. The package itself is attractive, and pictures together with portions of the tale are inside the folder. Also available as one side of an LP disking. Retail rating 86.[1]

Track listing[edit]

All songs were recorded on June 23, 1949,[2] written by Don Raye and Gene De Paul, directed by Simon Rady and featuring Victor Young and His Orchestra. The songs were featured on a 2-disc, 78 rpm album set, Decca Album DAU-725 which was auto-coupled for ease of playing with a record changer.
