"My Woman" is a song with lyrics by Bing Crosby and music by Max Wartell and Irving Wallman, recorded by Crosby on 23 February 1932, in New York City for Brunswick Records. He was backed by the Brunswick Studio Orchestra directed by Victor Young, with Tommy Dorsey on trombone and Larry Gomar on drums.[1] The song was first published on 11 March 1932.[2] The recording by Lew Stone & his Monseigneur Band (named for their residency at London's Monseigneur restaurant),[3][4] with vocal refrain by Al Bowlly, has since become well-known through its use in samples on latter-day pop recordings.[5]
