"Song of the Dawn" was a 1930 song, first introduced in the musical film King of Jazz . The song was originally written for Bing Crosby, who lost the part to John Boles, another actor in the film, due to Crosby being jailed for a motoring offence.[1]
Crosby recorded the song commercially on March 21, 1930 with Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra.[2] John Boles also recorded the song for commercial issue.[3]
Al Bowlly recorded the song on August 2, 1930 with Hubert Wallace and the Aldwych Players directed by Jay Wilbur. Other recordings were by Jack Hylton,[4] Phil Spitalny's Music,[5] George Olsen and his Music,[6] Earl Burtnett and his Orchestra [7] and Frank Chacksfield and His Orchestra.[8]
