In this issue, we are
delighted to have a
report from Greg Van Beek of his recent interview with Carol
Burnett and we have
taken the opportunity to use a photo of Carol and Bing for our front
cover. This time around we also remember a fascinating meeting with
Kathryn Crosby in 1999.
John Mumm compares some of Bing’s work in the 1970s while John Bassett
gives details of more rare recordings. Martin McQuade investigates
Bing’s
involvement in the Sister
Kenny polio campaign and David Lobosco reviews “Mr.
Music” in Celluloid Crosby. We report on Bing’s now customary
return to the
charts last Christmas and Jason Liddiard tells us about the relaunch of
his
Crosby gatherings in the UK. Ken Crossland rediscovers vinyl while
Graham
Pascoe sends his usual report about Crosby matters in Australia.
Our back cover comes
from the Hollywood Palace show of September 5, 1967 with Milton Berle
and Jimmy
Durante.
This
56-page glossy magazine continues to be essential reading for the
serious
Crosby supporter and order your copy of the magazine now by contacting
