My Mom (Walter Donaldson song)
"My Mom" is a popular song written by Walter Donaldson and published in 1932. Popular songstress Kate Smith recorded a version that year that reached #10 on the charts.[1] It was also successfully featured by crooner Bing Crosby, but there is no evidence that he recorded it.[2] It was also "successfully featured" by Jimmie Grier and his Orchestra,[3] popular crooner Rudy Vallée,[4] Jack Miller,[5] George Jessel,[6] and Irene Taylor.[7] Perhaps the most notable version of this song was recorded by Tony Bennett for his 1998 album Tony Bennett: The Playground.
