THE BING CROSBY-ROSEMARY CLOONEY SHOWwith Rosemary Clooney



The library of songs being recorded with Buddy Cole was still steadily expanding and was being used for other subsidiary assembled programmes such as ‘The Navy Swings’ and ‘Stars for Defense’.  It was raided again in 1960 when Bing and Rosemary Clooney teamed together in ‘The Bing Crosby – Rosemary Clooney Show’ on CBS.  This was a 20-minute show aimed at female listeners and was broadcast at 11:40 a.m. Monday to Friday.  Bing and Rosie would tape the dialogue weeks in advance and songs would be interpolated.  The songs would usually feature Bing and Rosie singing solos and often a duet.  Songs were repeated on many occasions.  Murdo MacKenzie was again the producer.  The shows commenced on February 29, 1960 and continued without a break until September 28, 1962 when Bing’s long association with radio in the USA effectively ended.

An article by Murray Schumach in the New York Times of 8th. October 1961 gave an almost eye-witness account of the dialogue recording sessions:

 

      Bing and Rosemary have worked out an almost foolproof system of parlaying work into fun and fun into money. Periodically they sit down in some pleasant environment and turn out material for some weeks of the 20 minute radio shows which are heard five days a week on the CBS network. The approach to these taping sessions is informal, just as it sounds on the air. There is a script, it is true. There are also numerous commercials which Rosemary usually rattles off whilst Bing grins smugly or stares stonily.  By the time each of these meetings is ended, the floor is carpeted with pages of scripts and only the tape recorders know what is said.

            One of these Crosby - Clooney get-togethers was held recently in the Clooney home in Beverly Hills.  While the engineer - Jack Lattig - tested tape recorders, amplifiers, mixers and microphones, Rosemary beguiled herself with a soft drink beneath a Vlaminck painting, leafing through her script.  Comfortable sofas and easy chairs stressed the pleasant atmosphere of the spacious living room.  Just before Bing arrived on this day, Bill Morrow who writes the scripts and hopes they will be followed within reason, explained what he tries to capture in the writing of the scripts.  ‘We aim this at a lady’s audience’ he said.  ‘Men are allowed to listen.  The tone of the conversation has to be light and we also toss in odd bits of information.’  Murdo MacKenzie, the director of the show, tried to look solemn at this attempt to find logic in the Crosby - Clooney antics for radio.

            Among the subjects elaborated upon by Rosemary and Bing for these shows have been:-

      - the eccentric behaviour of salmon after a still has overflowed into their stream;

      - Is home-made apple pie on the wane?;

      - the significance of the fact that men out-faint women three to one during Las Vegas marriages;

      - cuffola (non payment) as a status symbol in dealing with British tailors;

- the exercise break instead of coffee during business hours.

Wherever they are taping - and this work has been done in Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Carmel, San Francisco and Seattle - they dress in comfort.  This day Rosemary was wearing a colorful pair of slacks and a summer blouse.  Bing brightened the room with a pink sports shirt.  ‘I think,’ said Bing as he picked up his pile of scripts for the first time, ‘you might call this show flexible.’ Rosemary, who had been furrowing her brow over commercials for one of the four sponsors, burst into hearty laughter. They do not see their scripts until shortly before each session and neither of them bothers to look at the other’s lines. They try to grind out about a month’s supply of material at each meeting because they never know when they will be in the same city at the same time!  It was agreed at this session that they would next cross tapes in London, and this they did.

Under such conditions, slips are bound to occur, but they seem to give added freshness to the shows.  During this session, Rosemary taunted Bing when he had difficulty in pronouncing ichthyologist. He bided his time, eventually caught her eye at an awkward moment, disconcerted her by quick mimicry so that she lost her place. She went through several sentences before the mistake was realized. As a result, the next three or four minutes were spent in crawling through the paper drifts, trying to locate the page she had discarded prematurely.  

Even the generally methodical Ken Carpenter is lured into false security by the general atmosphere of nonchalance. Once, certain that he had skipped a line, he and the others checked quickly through the script. It developed that a line had indeed been skipped. It was one of Bing’s. Each half hour or so, a roll of tape is filled and a fresh one loaded. This is an excuse for a general period of refreshment and a sense of awe fills the atmosphere as though another miracle has been worked. To add to the scene on this day, the children come running in from the swimming pool during these breaks. Sometimes during these breaks from recording, they postpone looking at their scripts for as long as possible, and swap information about experiences and personalities in show business. On this occasion the talk led to Marlene Dietrich. Rosemary reported that Miss Dietrich had spent much of her time slinking behind doorways and chairs. It had nothing to do with creating an exotic atmosphere. “I was fat” said Miss Dietrich.

The present CBS show began in February 1960.  There seems to be no intention of abandoning it as long as Rosemary and Bing can agree to meet somewhere for part of a day over some cool drinks and hot tape recorders.

     

Buddy Cole described his side of the shows in a taped message to ICC member Stan White in the early 1960s:

 

      ‘...Eventually the big bands faded out as you know and one day Bing called me and asked me to go to CBS with him and a small group. He said ‘just you, I won’t do this unless you’ll do it.’ That’s just about the way Bing put it and I was naturally just thrilled out of my skull! And so we started with Mr. Crosby recording all of these tunes. That was in 1954 and we’ve been on the air continually except for one period of 9 months and one period of a year some place along the way.  

            I started with Rosemary Clooney in 1953. She was on another network (NBC) but eventually she came over to CBS and we put Crosby and Clooney together and that’s the way it is today. I’m so thankful for this Crosby show that got started and I would break my back to stay on it all of my life. I wish I could be assured of that, I might have a little more hair than I have right now - but it’s a wonderful show to do.   I go into a studio to record a basic track with Bing, or with Rosemary or both if they are doing duets.   Now what I mean by that is just the rhythm, just the bass, guitar and drums and I’ll play piano or celeste or as little as I have to put in to give them some background. We do maybe 4, 6, 8, 10 - I’ve done as many as 20 songs in a day with Bing. A lot of these were head arrangements, not written. I write every one that I possibly can, you have to for things that are concerted, because then we come back at our leisure the next day or two or three days later. We play these things back through a speaker or on a headset and then set about adding instruments and other sounds. We can add - we can multiple all the electric guitar, organ, kettle drums, shot guns, chimes, whatever you want to add, sometimes we  even sing!  

            That’s why we are able to maintain a pretty good balance on the show.  I have a pretty good control over it. I don’t have anyone telling me this and telling me that. They take my suggestions and I’m a damned bug on sound to the point where I’m likely to upset a few people if I’m not careful.  But anyway, that is the way we do the show and at this point I would say we have between 250 and 300 tunes in the can with Bing and about 200 odd with Rosemary plus about 40 duets. These can be drawn upon at any time and Murdo MacKenzie puts the shows together.   He gets the dialogue, and every word that Bing has ever uttered into the tape recorder microphones is filed away where he knows right where to get it. If he needs a ‘Yes’ or a “No’ or a ‘Thank You’ or a ‘Go to Hell”, he’s got it catalogued. Then we’ll tape these tunes other times and we’ll edit them, make them one chorus or change the introduction or sometimes fill in a thing instrumentally or run underneath the dialogue. There’s lots of things we can do and thank God I know about them because a lot of just plain musicians don’t know what a microphone does on a piece of tape or what you can do. It’s always been a hobby of mine. I’ve had a disc recorder ever since I can remember, one of the acetate disc things and then I had one of the first Ampex tape machines which came out (which Bing got for me)...’

THE BING CROSBY – ROSEMARY CLOONEY SHOW

– Bing’s most prolific network radio program

 

By Russ Rullman (as printed in BINGANG, August 1987)

 

IT WAS 11:40 A.M. on Monday February  28,  1960—and the voice of Bing Crosby reached millions of listeners through the several hundred  broadcast stations comprising the CBS Radio Network, as he introduced the first of a brand new series of music and commentary programs: The Crosby-Clooney Show. This was to be his last series on network radio. From the standpoint of numbers, it was also his most ambitious. A total of 675 Crosby-Clooney Shows were broadcast in the 135 weeks to follow!

Each program was approximately 20 minutes long, following the Garry Moore Show with Durward Kirby, and preceding the CBS Twelve O’clock News. Five shows a week, Monday through Friday week after week, without a break. And this kind of production from a star whose attendance of the Kraft shows was studded with “vacations.” How was it done?

Bing’s show budget—and hence his supporting cast and technical team—was minimal.  He and Rosemary Clooney were co-stars; Bing was very scrupulous in dividing the singing chores exactly in two. Behind them was the group of regulars who worked with Bing for seven years following the end of the General Electric program in 1954: Buddy Cole and his combo, with Buddy Cole on the piano and electric organ, Nick Fatool on drums and a variety of other  instruments/Perry Botkin [later replaced by Vince  Terri]  on  guitar,  banjo  and other  strings/ Don  Whittaker  on  the bass.

The versatility of this little group made them sound much bigger. They worked fast, recording on tape almost 500 different songs, all of which required arrangements and rehearsals. The announcer? Who else but faithful Ken Carpenter, who came aboard with Bing on the Kraft show in the mid-thirties and was there for the final, 675th program of Bing’s last radio series. But Ken was more than just the commercial announcer on this program.  He, Bing and Rosie shared between them the topical comments, the humor, the intros and asides, even the commercials, which were often laced with musical parodies and little skits as well as straight ‘sell’.

To make it all come together were the two production geniuses Bill Morrow and Murdo McKenzie . . .the same pair who handled production for Bing on his radio shows of the forties and fifties—Kraft, Philco,  Chesterfield and General Electric.  Bill  developed  the  format  and wrote copy where called for—there was a lot of ad lib in every program—and Murdo, with his scissors and editing spools, put all the pieces of music and dialogue together, snipping where necessary  to make the timing come out “on the  nose.”  Yes, through the magic of audio tape (not a word was spoken live on the air!) this brilliant bunch of pros came up with a daily network show that not only held its own in the ratings  game but crowned the last great daytime radio line-up.

Preceding the ‘Crosby-Clooney Show’ were three of the radio/TV ‘biggies’ of the period—Arthur Godfrey, Art Linkletter and Garry Moore. Our man was supposed to carry their audiences through to the CBS news—and he did so with gusto. Bing was never more bubbly and up-beat than on this 20-minute stint.

A typical program of the series began when the station break announcer said:

“And now, the Crosby-Clooney Show! Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, with Buddy Cole and his music!”

BING: Hello, everybody! Hi, Rosie.

ROSIE: Hi, Bing.

BING:  You care to commence the proceedings with a bit of song. Rosemary? (Opening song was always alternated with Rosie.)

ROSIE:   I’ll just do that little thing.

KEN C: And what’s the selection, Rosie?

ROSIE:  (Song title and comment as Buddy Cole opens with organ or piano intro)

Following the first song was the first commercial, usually handled by Ken, but often with Bing or Rosie doing the chore. Then came the commentary, often concerning current events but as wide-ranging as cooking and restaurants or temperamental opera singers.  This was followed by a second song, in this case Bing’s solo. Then either a duet, an instrumental number by Buddy Cole and combo, followed by a commercial. The program concluded with solos by Bing and Rosie, the ending commercial, and into the closing theme song, “Side By Side,” later changed to “Don’t Worry about Tomorrow.”  The ending often went like this:

BING:  Time for us to move on out, Rosie.

ROSIE: Yes, gotta go now, but we’ll be back at this same time tomorrow.

BING:  That we will—hope you’ll be listening! Until then...

THEME: “Side By Side” comes up behind Carpenter.

KEN C: Tune in tomorrow at this time for another session with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney.  This program was produced in Hollywood by Bill Morrow and   Murdo McKenzie.   Ken Carpenter speaking.

THEME: Up and hold for timing.

BREAK ANNCR: The Columbia Broadcasting System.

What songs were used by Bing, Rosie and Co. on their programs? Some old, some new, middle-of-the-road tempo, and the kind you’d expect to attract the house-wife audience. Bing, of course, favored the old standards.  Rosie’s were more current (but no rock or Presley lyrics) and Buddy Cole could get a little wild on his solos.  A good example would be program 184, aired Thursday Nov 10, 1960. Here was the line-up:

 

I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter—Rosie

Gypsy in My Soul—Bing

Tuxedo Junction—Buddy Cole and Combo

We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye—Bing and Rosie duet

I Wish I Were in Love Again—Rosie

Goodnight, Sweet Dreams, Mary Lou—Bing

 

Bing and Rosie met often at the studio, recording all the intros and dialogue as well as the duets.  Some of Bing’s solos were borrowed from his nightly 15-minute show of 1954-56, “The Bing Crosby Show” (what else?). Other tapes came from the series “The Ford Road Show,” which came along in 1957. Rosie’s songs were sometimes borrowed from her own daytime program, “The Rosemary Clooney Show,” which also used Buddy Cole and his boys.

And of course, Bing repeated. Oh, how he repeated!  His solos and duets on these programs were repeated an average of only three times each, true, but this means that some were played ten times and others once.  Rosie followed suit, but to a lesser degree.  Even Buddy Cole repeated himself; his “Chloe” is found on a half-dozen of the shows.

Uniquely, however, there were no guests, and all of the musical numbers were Bing-Buddy-Rosie creations, with a couple of exceptions.  He and Rosie plugged their 1959 album “How The West Was Won” on a few shows, and their comic single “Isle of Capri” (1958) with Billy May’s Orchestra was used several times.

Truly, the whole series was a monumental undertaking, but in character with a man who could, and did, cut 8 or 10 commercial recordings in a single day.

 

PART TWO (as printed in BINGANG, December 1987)

Only the magic of tape made possible the Crosby-Clooney show, which was broadcast on CBS radio five days a week, Monday through Friday for 135 weeks straight without a break from February 29, 1960 through September 28, 1962. Bing was a pioneer of broadcast tape, and up to 1960 had amassed a huge quantity of tape recordings from various radio programs—from the Philco, Chesterfield and General Electric series, then the 15-minute evening programs logged as “The Bing Crosby Show”, and into a curious little five-minute program which was half-and-half: one song and one commercial, called the “Ford Road Shows.” These programs started on the air September 2, 1957, and circulated for a couple of years, to be followed by the final effort, the Crosby-Clooney 20-minute daytime program.

Following the conclusion of the General Electric shows in 1954, Bing retrenched. Radio could no longer support a lavish ensemble of 22 top musicians headed by John Scott Trotter, and Bing adamantly refused to consider a TV series, which would put him back on the live-show treadmill.   So, starting with his album “A Musical Autobiography” in 1954 it was Bing with Buddy Cole at the piano; Nick Fatool, percussions; Perry Botkin [later replaced by Vince Terri], strings; and Don Whittaker, bass. This combo could sound a lot bigger than it was - they even took vocal choruses when the occasion called for it, and Fatool had a collection of bells, chimes, and other effects which were worked into the arrangements.

So, when Bing took on the Crosby-Clooney assignment, he was well-stocked with pre-taped program material. In addition, Rosemary Clooney had her own show on CBS, also using the Cole combo. Many of her tapes were spliced into the programs, since she and Bing shared the solos equally. Then Buddy and his group came in for some of the spotlight with instrumental numbers. Buddy made extensive use of his electric organ, which was a novelty at the time but has become dated. Wish Buddy had stuck with the piano!

Unfortunately, it is impossible to put dates on the taping of many of the tracks used on these shows.  Some went back to the mid-fifties. Others were lifted from the Ford show - still more were re-taped and there were some new ones cut, as revealed by the tapes of recording sessions in the 60’s. Sometimes Bing sang with the whole ensemble in the studio, but there were also tracks Bing made with a bell tone, the combo’s music to be laid in later. Bing and Rosemary made a string of fine duets together, which were used over and over.

Everything had to come together on Murdo McKenzie’s splicing table, where the elements were balanced and laced together with topical comments by Bing, Rosie, and Ken Carpenter. A truly professional job!

And now for the song titles. I wish I could say that the contents of every program on this series are known: unfortunately, about 18 percent of the shows, some 125 of the 675, have not been found. Until they come to light, we’ll have to be content with the 210 titles on the following list.  They include Bing’s solos and his duets with Rosemary Clooney—no Clooney solos or Buddy Cole numbers. And none of the commercial LP’s that Bing occasionally slipped into a show for a free plug. What, you say? Only 210 different titles out of 550 shows? Yep, that’s right. Bing repeated his songs a number of times.  So did Clooney, so did Cole.  If you, fellow collector, have a few gems not on this list in your collection, won’t you send me the details? If possible, the program number and date along with information about the performance. We’ll add them.

SUNDRY GUEST APPEARANCES 1955 -1977

 

Radio as a major entertainment medium had now been overtaken by television and Bing’s appearances during the rest of his life were spasmodic and low key with a few notable exceptions such as the ‘Christmas Sing With Bing’ shows.  However, it was perhaps fitting that his final performance in show business should be a programme he recorded for radio just three days before his death. 

 

The medium that had brought him to fame carried his last songs....

 

1955

April 13 Appears on radio show ‘American Cancer Society All Star Revue’ with Frank Sinatra and others.  Bing sings a medley with his sons and also a medley with Frank Sinatra, both items have probably been lifted from the General Electric shows.

May 11 (8:30-9:00 p.m.) Bing acts as host on the Family Theater radio production “Deadbeat” on the Mutual network.

October 23 (7:00-7:30 p.m.) Bing and Lindsay Crosby make a contribution to the tape recorded radio programme ‘Family of Stars’.

December 24 (6:00-7:00 p.m.) Hosts a radio special ‘A Christmas Sing with Bing’, which is later released by Decca as an LP No.  DL 8419.  Bing sings ‘Happy Holiday’, ‘Joy to the World’, ‘White Christmas’, ‘The First Nowell’, ‘Good King Wenceslas’, ‘Away in a Manger’, ‘Deck the Hall With Boughs of Holly’, ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ and ‘Silent Night’.

 

Insurance Company of America laid out some $30,000 for this Christmas Eve ‘Sing With Bing Hour’ and that might be figured as cheap considering the promotion values. CBS toted up the statistics, claiming over 70,000 letters poured in for a ‘What Christmas Means To Me Contest’ for moppets with nothing but on the air advertising and no premiums or prizes save to a single winner. What happens to the other 69,999 kids who made with their letters is something else, perhaps they won’t be snared into ever writing again or will compare the prize letter with one of their own and be disturbed about it. The winner was seven year-old Delores Short who had spent her whole life in Pine Ridge, Kentucky Children’s Home. She read her letter. The Groaner promised her a bicycle, gifts for the other kids in the home and there was quite a bit of hoop-la regarding a B29 crew out of a USAAF base in Alaska dropping the letter over the North Pole for Santa’s mail bag. If there was an important Christmas carol left out by either Der Bingle or the pick-up points, it didn’t come to mind. Crosby breezed along in his well-known way with talk and chirp, some of it carried on with Ken Carpenter who gave a gentle ride to the insurance commercials. Fitting background emanated from the Paul Weston Orchestra and the Norman Luboff Choir.’

(Variety, December 28, 1955)

 

1956

March 7 (8:30-9:00 p.m.) Bing acts as host on the Family Theater radio production of “The Seventh Son” featuring Ricardo Montalban.

June 13 (8:30-9:00 p.m.) Bing acts as host on the Family Theatre radio production ‘Wally’.

December 11 (7:30-8:00 p.m.) Appears in ‘The Unicef Story’ on KFI with other guest stars.

December 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m.) The second ‘Christmas Sing With Bing’ is aired on radio. Rosemary Clooney joins Bing.  Maurice Chevalier and Sarah Churchill contribute from Paris and London respectively. Bing sings ‘Happy Holiday’,  ‘Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly’, ‘Adeste Fideles’, ‘White Christmas’, ‘Jingle Bells’,  ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’, ‘Joy to the World’ and ‘Silent Night’.


On Christmas Eve, a songfest with Bing Crosby, interlaced with other show biz personalities, as well as pickups from many corners of the globe, proved to be good listening, showcasing radio as a still dazzling entertainment medium, the mobility of which is hard to beat. The holiday show was better in the first half than in the second, bogged down somewhat by a repetitious format, and what seemed to be obtruding commercials. But as a whole, it was an appealing, popular show in the spirit of the holiday. . . Der Bingle was in fine voice, singing such holiday favorites as “White Christmas”, “Happy Holiday”, “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night”. In warm style, he handled his emcee chores, all neatly woven into the transcription.

(Variety, January 2, 1957)


1957

February Tapes ‘Calling All Hearts’ radio programme with Bob Hope.  The programme is broadcast on radio stations during February to raise money for the Heart Fund.  Bing and Bob's dialogue is used to link some of their records.

May 11 (8:30 -9:00 p.m.) Bing introduces a comedy called ‘Deadbeat’ on KHJ.

December 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m.) ‘A Christmas Sing With Bing’ airs on radio.  Gary Crosby contributes a brief message. Bing sings ‘Happy Holiday’, ‘Adeste Fideles’, ‘The First Nowell’, ‘Away in a Manger’, ‘Joy to the World’, ‘Jingle Bells’, ‘White Christmas’ and ‘Silent Night’.


“Sing With Bing” is developing into a standard Christmas eve radio offering. Aired for the third successive year last week under the same sponsor, show once again featured a program of holiday songs delivered by Bing Crosby from Hollywood and numerous choruses in pickups from other points in the U.S. and the world. Taped in advance, show nevertheless came through with the right holiday flavor. The sponsoring insurance company told its story lightly and politely via announcer Ken Carpenter in some half-dozen plugs. The commercial note was muted by such topical phrases as “family security and happiness through insurance,” etc., all designed to fit in with the mood of the holiday.

      Musically, the show had some standout numbers. Most effective was the religioso delivered by the Vatican Choir in the Rome pickup. Another excellent number was rendered by a Dutch children’s choir from The Hague. Other numbers featured choirs from Minneapolis, Canada and Jerusalem in addition to one number by the insurance company’s chorus. Windup number spotlighted Bing Crosby’s son, Gary, now a U.S. soldier stationed in Austria, in “Silent Night” which was reprised in German by an Austrian choir.

      Crosby pere hosted the show in his usual glib style, also delivering several numbers, including “Joy to the World,” “White Christmas,” “Away in a Manger” and “Jingle Bells,” with backing from the Paul Weston orch and Norman Luboff choir.

1958

Bing and Bob Hope tape a radio programme ‘Bing, Hope and Charity’ to raise money for the 1958 Bishop's Relief Fund Appeal which is due to take place between March 9th and 16th.  Bing and Bob's dialogue is used to link records.

December 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m.) Another ‘Christmas Sing With Bing’ airs on radio.  The show has been sponsored by the Insurance Company of North America.  Kathryn Crosby takes part for the first time and sings ‘Away In a Manger’ with Bing.  Crosby also sings ‘Happy Holiday’, ‘Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly’, ‘The First Nowell’, ‘Jingle Bells’, ‘White Christmas’, and ‘Adeste Fideles’.


CBS Radio established the Christmas Sing with Bing pattern four years ago and it still holds up as an easy and comfortable programming segment for Yule listening. With Crosby crooning and emceeing around-the-world pickup for Christmas festivities, the hour rolls by in a familiar but still enjoyable way. The hymns, carols and even the Tin Pan Alley salutes to the season get lots of play and the interviews with representatives from such far away places as Hawaii, Australia, Paris and Rome set the global mood in music and attitudes.

Extra added attraction this year was Kathryn Grant Crosby who joined her husband on “Away in the Manger” carol. Otherwise the tune pitch was the same. “Jingle Bells”, “Adeste Fideles”, “White Christmas” and other standbys were pleasant to hear again in the Crosby manner. Accompaniment by the Norman Luboff Choir and Paul Weston orchestra was topnotch.

1959

March 1 Bing is featured in a transcribed 15-minute radio programme ‘Stars for Defense’ and sings three songs accompanied by Buddy Cole as well as providing linking dialogue.  The programme includes a talk by an official of the Federal Civil Defense Administration about what to do in the case of nuclear attack.

December 24 (9:05-10:00 p.m.) ‘A Christmas Sing With Bing’ airs on radio. The programme picks up Christmas music from around the world and Bing introduces the song ‘It’s Christmas’.

“It’s Christmas,” a new song by Paul Sanders and Pat Sullivan for Bing Crosby will be sung by him on his KNX Christmas Eve show at 9:05. Paul Weston conducts the orchestra. The Vatican Choir in Rome, the Salt Lake City Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Les Brown’s “Voices of Christmas,” the Norman Luboff Choir, the Alumni Choir of the Kamehameha School in Honolulu, the Crescendo Chorus of Hong Kong, the Saint Sulpice Church Choir of Paris, and the Employees Chorus of the Insurance Company of North America are also to sing Christmas music.

1960

December 24 (7:10-8:00 p.m.) ‘A Christmas Sing With Bing’ radio programme is transmitted.  The international format is dropped this time and Bing is joined by Rosemary Clooney, Jose Ferrer and Kathryn Crosby.  The programme is again sponsored by the insurance company, INA.  Bing sings ‘Happy Holiday’ (a snatch only), ‘Joy to the World’, ‘It’s Christmas’, ‘White Christmas’, ‘Jingle Bells’, ‘Away In a Manger’ (with Kathryn Crosby), ‘Silent Night’ and a medley with Rosemary Clooney ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town’, ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’ and ‘Here Comes Santa Claus’.  Bing, Kathryn, Jose and Rosie plus Ken Carpenter all join in ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’.


This was the sixth ‘Christmas Sing With Bing’ and the Yuletide Eve special is well on its way to becoming an institution which is all for the best since Crosby has that special sense of hominess and belonging that adds an extra kind of warmth to a season when the Christmas song-fests tend to lose their individuality. The ‘Sing with Bing’ remains something special, to look forward to each year. A change to format was offered this year, Crosby dropping the international flavor of season’s past for a stay at home session with Rosemary Clooney, his regular CBS radio partner, her hubby Jose Ferrer and his own wife Kathryn as they swing, happily, through a wide category of Christmas songs from the newer pop standards right down to old-fashioned carols. The music was fine. Crosby and Miss Clooney were in top form and Miss Grant displayed a small but pretty voice. Ferrer added a reading of ‘Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus’ – the 1897 ‘New York Sun’ editorial that was effective and overall the show had a fine sense of restrained gaiety. Two negatives however. One, was the fact that there was far too much talk and not enough music – at least in the first half of the show and Bill Morrow’s rapid-fire dialogue tended to be a little over cute. Second – Far too many commercials for Insurance Company of North America and pretty hard sell at that. ‘Sing with Bing’ being almost an institution it seems about time the commercial aspect of it be accorded appropriately similar treatment.

One of the warmest, and unquestionably, the brightest entertainments of the holiday was “Christmas Sing with Bing”. This old tar puffed contentedly on a huge Christmas stogie, which looked like a smokestack on our old battleship, as he enjoyed this annual Sing with Bing. The highlights of the party were the Groaner’s baritoning of “Silent Night” and “White Christmas,” and Ferrer’s reading of the famous newspaper editorial, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,” which for pith and point is peerless. It is a classic of the Fourth estate.

When younger, Bing Crosby with his deceptively easy singing style and his similar gift on the big screen, had been a great favourite of mine. I could never have dream't of meeting him, as I queued for the one-and-nines, but I did. In the early seventies, he dropped in one morning on my radio show, and we chatted. He, too, was everything I knew he would be: full of bonhomie and good humour, relaxed and generous with his time.

      As I recall [and, as you have noticed, my recollections can be a bit on the misty side], Bing was in London to record an album with Fred Astaire. The word had it that the recording was not going as swimmingly as it might: Astaire was a workaholic, meticulous in everything, as in his dancing: rehearse, refine, rehearse, let’s do it one more time. Crosby’s style was the antithesis of Astaire’s: rely on your talent, do it on your toes, wing it, let’s go, I’ve got a golf date …

The BBC LP REB 398 - ‘Bing - The Final Chapter’ captures this final performance magnificently. Subsequently, the Collectors’ Choice Music CD “Seasons” Deluxe Edition was issued in 2010 and also contains the eight songs recorded by Bing.

 

It is with some sadness I record that one of the high spots of my professional life should find me at the end of a long and illustrious list of Musical Directors beginning with Paul Whiteman. Whilst I never could remember a time when there was no Bing, the first time I actually met him was at the preliminary rehearsal for the three provincial dates, London Palladium fortnight and the BBC Broadcast, all of which I was contracted to do with my Orchestra, and which constituted his last professional appearances.

An early reserve quickly gave way to a warmth which was always evident in the voice and film performances which I knew so well, and on learning of my interests (I played jazz guitar and trumpet) he delighted in telling me outrageous stories of the great musicians with whom he has been associated. Every evening I would hear of the unpublished exploits of such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong, Eddie Lang, Joe Venuti, Bix Beiderbecke, Frankie Trumbauer, the Teagarden Brothers etc. etc., and these stories, together with Bing’s humorous turn of phrase, were unforgettable.

Of Bing Crosby the artiste and of this magnificent voice, surely everything has been said, but I would like to add a small personal observation; I consider myself the most privileged of men to have worked with the greatest entertainer of this century, and am very proud that this all too short season is represented for posterity in this Album.

(Gordon Rose, writing on the cover of Bing - The Final Chapter an LP album issued by the BBC in 1980)

 

When Gordon Rose phoned to say Bing and Rosemary Clooney would like to do a broadcast for BBC Radio, I doubted it could be arranged in the little time available, but with everyone ‘pulling out all the stops’ I was soon able to visit Bing at the London Palladium to discuss the music and all was arranged.

Was it really true? Was this man with the magical voice, the most famous ever, turning up at our Maida Vale Studios ‘with the fellas’? But true it was, and he came and sang and talked to Alan Dell and charmed everyone with his warmth and friendliness and above all his trust in all of us — strangers to him — to record what turned out to be his ultimate performance.

When I listen to these songs I shall always remember him perched on a stool in his floppy hat and looking frail — but still giving with the old magic. I just could believe the lyric of the last song. Once In a While, was a message to us all — “Hoping You’ll Think Of Me Once In a While” — I’ll never forget.

(Lawrie Monk, Producer BBC Radio2, writing on the cover of Bing - The Final Chapter an LP album issued by the BBC in 1980)
