"Bing Crosby first made his name as a singer with a distinctive and innovative style that helped transform the musical scene of the early thirties. Radio and films brought him national prominence, which later turned to worldwide recognition as a result of his hilarious "Road" films with Bob Hope. Now, almost twenty-five years after his death, Malcolm Macfarlane has created a comprehensive overview of Crosby's public and private lives."--BOOK JACKET.
