The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

I have been compiling CDs of different Bing recordings. Some are essential to me, and some are underrated. All of them are worth listening to.

I just uploaded the first CD to the Internet Archive. 

You can find it here if you are interested:

Re: The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

I like that track list you made there, I may have to make that into a CD myself!

Re: The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

I was a little disappointed because the Internet Archive didn't post the CD tracks in order - at least when I first posted it. I am making other CDs too - 1940s, 1950s, etc.

Re: The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

I very much like that idea, I hope you are able to do the 70s as those tracks have a tighter copyright.

Re: The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

Eventually I'll get to all of that. I was making a new Bing fan some Bing CDs and figured I would share these. Some Bing songs I haven't listen to in years!

Well that Bing fan is lucky I wish I would’ve had someone like you to make CDs when I started off.

When I first started collecting in the 1990s, my Bing friends made me cassette tapes. Wow, how technology has changed!

Re: The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

While I knew a good amount of tracks from your 30s one, this one has a good lot that I don't know, and I'll have to take a dedicated listen.

Re: The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

Not to muddy the board with everything I am putting on the Internet Archive, but I also put on there a collection of my favorite Bing Crosby duets...

It was great to look back on music I hadn't listened to in years!

Re: The Essential & Underrated Bing Crosby

That's a beaut selection. Coincidentally, I opened my radio program on Monday with 'A Couple of Song and Dance Men' and when I addressed a local Probus Club last week I played Bing and Bob singing 'Put It There Pal' with great lyrics (which i introduced by explaining some of the supposed ad libs such as 'great for selling cheese' and 'Colonna's big moustache'.

Can I listen to your radio program online? I'd love to hear it.

Sounds great!
