Ken Darby

b. 13 May 1909, Hebron, Nebraska, USA, d. 24 January 1992, Sherman Oaks, California, USA. A prolific composer, arranger and musical director for records and films, Ken Darby's Singers and the John Scott Trotter Orchestra backed Bing Crosby on what is said to be the biggest-selling record of all time - ‘White Christmas'. That was in 1942, and Darby's vocal group was present on several other appealing Crosby sides during the 40s, including ‘If You Please', ‘Riders In The Sky', ‘Far Away Places', ‘Anniversary Song', and two more million-sellers, ‘Sunday, Monday, Or Always' (1943)...
