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. It was also successfully featured by crooner Bing Crosby, but there is no evidence that he recorded it. It was also "successfully featured" by Jimmie Grier and his Orchestra, popular crooner Rudy Vallée, Jack Miller, George Jessel, and Irene Taylor. Perhaps the most notable version of this song was recorded by Tony Bennett for his 1998 album Tony Bennett: The Playground.
