Superb Bing Crosby Music!

Musical Notes | 04/23/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a perfect compilation of Bing Crosby songs. The two CDs showcase 50 of Bing's most popular hits, including Out of Nowhere, Just One More Chance, Dinah, Love In Bloom, I'll Be Seeing You and White Christmas. The sound quality also is superb with ASV Living Era once again capturing the warmth and richness of Bing's exquisite voice while also rendering it crystal clear. As a child, Bing first developed a love for Irish music, then later became a drummer and singer in college and soon after joined the famous Whiteman Orchestra. He crooned his way through over 150 popular songs in the 1930s, with 22 of them becoming #1 hits. I don't recall any other singer who could so equally master a romantic love song, a jazz creation or an Irish ballad with such passion, style and ease. I highly recommend this album as an absolute must for everyone of any age.

Note: If you enjoy music of this era, you will not want to miss the brilliant Ray Noble Orchestra with Al Bowlly as well as the wonderful music of Hal Kemp, Eddy Duchin and Carroll Gibbons."
