"My Kinda Love", also recorded as "My Kind of Love", is a popular song with music by Louis Alter and lyrics by Jo Trent, published in 1929. The song was used in the short lived Americana show in 1928. Bing Crosby recorded the song on three occasions. The first was with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra recorded on January 26, 1929 for Okeh Records. The writer, Gary Giddins commenting on the session said "Best of all is "My Kinda Love," a flimsy song that he projects stirringly without a trace of the frangible crooning style." Crosby re-recorded the song a few weeks later on March 14, 1929 with a trio for Columbia Records and this was the first occasion that he would be top-billed on a record. In 1954, Crosby recorded the song again for his album Bing: A Musical Autobiography.

Lyrics

My kinda love, your kinda love Keeps me believing, although you're deceiving My kinda love, one way to paradise My kinda lips, your kinda lips When love comes stealing, encourage that feeling My kinda love, one way to paradise Although you're happy today You may be gone tomorrow Love comes but once, don't be a dunce When you need it, steal it, beg or borrow I'm fond of you, you're fond of me Tell me you love me and hug me and squeeze me My kinda love, one way to paradise
