Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings was Bing Crosby's sixth LP, his first album for Verve, recorded and originally released in a mono format in 1956 as MGV 2020.

Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings was a stylistic departure for Crosby, marking the first time he recorded an album with a hard-swinging orchestra along the lines of Frank Sinatra's hit album with Nelson Riddle, Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, released earlier the same year by Capitol. The songs are also among the rare few that Bing had never before recorded up to that point. Buddy Bregman contributed the orchestrations, conducted a hand-picked group of Hollywood's foremost musicians and came up with the idea of the album.

Bregman when interviewed in 2001 by In Tune International magazine said:"Yes, this was my idea. Bing was at the end of his long contract with Decca, and although he re-signed, it was on a non-exclusive basis, which meant he was free to record with whom he chose. I’d recently worked with Gary Crosby on a Decca session and become friendly with him and I had Bing’s private home telephone number so I rang him to ask about doing an album with me at Verve. I went over to the house and played some things over to him on the piano. He agreed to do it and a deal was worked out, and I was given carte blanche with the arrangements and musicians. He didn’t even insist on his regular pianist Buddy Cole being on the date. The only thing Bing stipulated was that he had to record at nine o’clock in the morning, because his voice was best at that time of day."

The album was released on CD by Verve in 2001 (No. UDCD 670).

A reviewer for Variety wrote, "Bing Crosby’s first wax trip away from Decca in more than 20 years is a happy musical excursion...Altogether it is quite a musical package - muscular and tender, driving and romantic, pulsating and lyrical. For Bing Crosby, the artist, it is a somewhat different testament to add to the many already on record and, as you will hear, an ingeniously varied and durable one."

Billboard liked it too saying: "This is Bing’s first album on Verve, and he draws support from a modern, swinging group of musicians. - The package contains a list of great tunes which Bing never recorded before; reason enough to make this attractive to the faithful. Tunes include “Mountain Greenery,” “Blue Room,” “Have You Met Miss Jones” and other great ones, most dating from the golden age of show music. Bregman orchestrated the songs brightly, and Bing sings them with his casual charm and technical perfection."
