(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER [performance by Jimmy Dorsey] is one of the most moving of all the World War II era pop classics. It became a sensational hit in 1942 as it reflected the feelings of the Allies toward the British people. Originally released in the U.S. by bandleader Kay Kyser, four other artists also hit the Top 20 with this song that year: Glenn Miller, Sammy Kaye, Jimmy Dorsey and Kate Smith. Other artists who've recorded this standard include: Vera Lynn, Jim Reeves, Connie Francis, Bing Crosby and The Righteous Brothers.Benny Goodman recorded ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET .
