Bing Crosby Show Old Time Radio Program The Bing Crosby Show Old Time Radio Program Combined Set (CDs 1-4) 1/2 hour musical/comedy/variety show
The Bing Crosby Show was a musical variety show characterized by the easy-going style that was Crosby’s trademark. Harry Lillis ("Bing") Crosby rose to prominence as a solo vocalist in the 1930s, singing with some of the major big bands of the period. He made his radio debut in the early 1930s, and in 1935 he replaced orchestra leader and former boss, Paul Whiteman as the host of the Kraft Music Hall. His tenure with the Kraft Music Hall lasted approximately 10 years, when he left Kraft to begin hosting his own show. Crosby is acknowledged as the first performer in the world to pre-record his radio show. Pre-recording allowed flexibility for rehearsal and editing, which resulted in a tighter show, which appealed to his perfectionist nature. As an outgrowth of pre-recording, he is also credited with creating the laugh track. The ComicWeb collection includes Crosby shows from 1943 to 1955, encompassing the years of Crosby’s peak popularity, during which he was named "the most admired man alive", ahead of Jackie Robinson and The Pope. In a poll of U.S. troops at the close of WWII, Crosby was voted the person who did the most for GI morale (over President Roosevelt, General Dwight Eisenhower, and Bob Hope). Although Crosby continued to make radio appearances on various other shows, The Bing Crosby Show ceased broadcasting in 1954.

Customer Reviews: . To submit a review, please use our contact page. The Bing Crosby Show with Danny Thomas is in my opinion a very well done show as only Bing could do. His music is superb and he has that certain charm that makes him sound on the radio as if he is only talking to You. Danny Thomas a great comic and singer in his own right. For good music there was only one and that is Bing Crosby {editor's note - this episode is one of the sample episodes, and is on CD 2} |
