In 1971 John Gilliland interviewed Bing in depth for his forthcoming Pop Chronicles series. Bing is remarkably open and frank and you can hear the proceedings here.

Quite an interesting find!
I do not listen to Bing from 70s very often, but that's nice to listen to him talking about all the things that everyboody want to know at one time. A lot of issues were covered in the interview, so I wonder if there is more interviews like this one.)))
Thanks a lot, Malcolm!

Two things in particular made me wonder. Bing referred to pre-recording songs for his movies, saying that sometimes he'd ad lib some addition to the lyrics when recording and during filming he'd turn his head from the camera while lip-synching the lyrics. Really? The other occurred as he referred to 'competing' singers early in his career when he mentioned 'Osborns', somewhat uncertainly. I wonder to whom he might have been referring.

Think Bing was referring to Will Osborne,

Thanks Malcolm. I don't think I've heard any of his recordings. I'll look at Youtube and probably find something.
