The thing about Bing Crosby is that he made singing look and sound so easy that anyone could do what he did. But they couldn't. He was a master at what he did. As a metal/prog guy, Bing's sound is just a thing of beauty.
I agree with you fully--Bing's voice was a thing of beauty.
Will always love Bing. Sadly he raised some whining and needy boys who couldn't stop begging for handouts.
Almost sounds more like talking than singing, which may be why it's relatable
Well put. I am a huge fan of Bing as well coming from a rock/metal background.
It's never Christmas at my house until Bing is playing. And Perry Como.
Long ago when the great Louis Armstrong was alive and being interviewed he was asked who his favorite singer was. He didn't hesitate when he said Bing Crosby. He and Bing would often sings jazz tunes together.
Don't forget that playing the affable drunk was part of the Martin persona. He "dipped" for the low notes not necessarily to loosen the vocal chords, but to stay in character. He had an exaggerated affect.
He joked "You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on."
Bing influenced so many of the greatest singers of popular music. He was the biggest influence on Sinatra, Tony Bennett, John Lennon, and most of the crooners of the 40s and 50s and he was the biggest influence on Dean Martin who was the biggest influence on Elvis. Bing was a giant of popular culture who doesn't get near the amount of respect he deserves. He probably had the most technically proficient baritone voice in the history of American popular music. What's amazing is that his voice was still magical even into his 70s. Louis Armstrong said it perfectly:
"Bing's voice is like pure gold being poured out of a cup."
The biggest influence on Dean, was Harry Mills of the Mills brothers.
Nice choice. I love that Bing did a duet with David Bowie..it is was wonderful. Between Bing and Dean Martin, it is crazy that they both played the Straight men /foils of Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope.
You can thank David's mum for the duet with Bing. She loved BC. David was trying to make her happy.
Not to mention that Bing Crosby and Bob Hope played in the "Road" pictures. I think it's safe to say that Bing was multi-talented.
Road to Zanzibar, an hilarious movie.
So often Hope’s character comes off as less funny than Crosby’s , which has its own charm.
Loved Bing and Bowie together too! 👍👍
One thing about all of the artist back then. They all had their egos, but they all knew it was all about making the audience happy.
and even TV seem more civilized then, now its garbage
They were still trying to upstage each other, though. In a seemingly playful way, of course. But I'm sure things looked very different backstage...
@@SpaceCattttt actually Bing was Dean martin's musical hero.
@@gberndt4music I was referring to artists in general back then, since that's what the OP did.
@@SpaceCattttt got it. I'm sure that happened a lot, just like now.
Fun fact: Bing was first choice for the role of detective Columbo (the role made iconic by Peter Falk), but turned it down as he felt that the weekly filming of a tv series would interfere with his golf playing time.
These are the artists I grew up with and still adore today. This was a time where you could listen to these entertainers all day long without burnout. Total relaxation, enjoying their work and having fun performing. Dean, Sammy, Bing, Frank, Tony, Mel, and many more were always perfectly professional, and pleasant to the ear.
Wonderful to see you reviewing the older generations of singers. Mum, born 1920, was a huge Bing fan, before she married dad, when single she named her dog Bing. She wrote to Bing from Australia, got a typed letter back with authentic letterhead, but Bing signed it. Mum framed it and it hung on lounge wall until she sadly passed aged 95. It’s coming my way soon. Oh he was a magical crooner ❤️
Dean and Bing were so talented and worked at their craft. It looked easy so you might not realize just how talented they were. Thank you Fil for the background details.
Very Lynn. the legend from England of the World War II-era who toured some of the toughest war zones to entertain the troops. "We'll Meet Again" "White Cliffs of Dover" a true treasure we lost recently. There is a clip of Vera and Bing together on one her specials
Absolutely two of the most entertaining vocalists of the 20th century, Bing & Dino. I really appreciated your analysis on this iconic performance!
Loved this! This music is the soundtrack of my life.
Bing was amazing. This performance did not even come close to scratching the surface of his vocal capabilities. He often displayed incredible vocal acrobatics with vibrato and intricate articulations. He was just so remarkably melodic. When I listen to what he did vocally and look at what he did for other people, I have to say that he was a legendary human being as well as musician and performer.
Bing would have nothing to do with Jerry Lewis. But he loved Dean. Jerry attempted to pull Bings hairpiece off on a 50s TV fundraiser. Bing left the stage. Bob Hope was there. It's on RUclips. Find it and you'll see it. Jerry could get carried away. Dean would never have done that. Along those same lines, Frank would make cracks about Ken Lanes hairpiece despite wearing one himself. Dean just wanted to get on, work, and go home.
2 things will completely baffle the younger generations. First is the cigarette, the second is that they are actually singing live.
My favorite entertainer of all time. Did you know that he had more hits than anyone else? Over 40 number one hits, and TWO HUNDRED top ten hits! Pre-billboard charts. Of course by 1970 he was almost age 70 so his vocals aren’t as impressive but the legend is still there. If you ever do bing again I recommend a clip from the early or mid thirties, when his range was just phenomenal, something totally different than the singing here. Great video!!
Bing Crosby was one of the most important artists of the 20th century and 99.5% of people are unaware of that.
@@NoelJamesRiggs Correct and so sad! I grew up with Bing as my dad and uncle loved him and had most of his recordings.
Bing also has the number one and number three best selling singles of all time. Number one is, of course, White Christmas, and number three is his version of Silent Night.
People don’t realize what a huge star Bing was. No one has been as big since- records, radio, movies. He was number one.
@@NoelJamesRiggs he was also one of the most important jazz vocalists of the early 20th century. It’s utterly absurd that, in Ken Burns 11 part Jazz documentary for PBS, Bing is not mentioned ONCE.
LOVE THAT STYLE OF RELAXED SINGING
The “Oh, yeah!” at the end is what they all did as a tribute to the greatest of them all, Satchmo.
I just watched your analysis of Frank Sinatra and watched your analysis of Dean Martin on Sunday and i was thinking you should do the signature songs of all the crooners. Like Andy Williams and Perry Como.
I second that!!!
And I third it!
My two cats have musical opinions, so we have 5 votes for it!
How about Tony Bennett and Robert Goulet?!
Yes, definitely Perry Como!!
I agree with your idea about the crooners. Maybe have a week dedicated to crooners, a week dedicated to blues, a week for another music genre, etc.? I dunno; it's just a thought.
Nice, I love Bing---one of my favorite singers and actors. The cliche is that the money is in the high notes, but, as you correctly state, for Bing, it was in his rich low register. And by the 1940's the microphone technology really did him justice. He was also a superb actor as he seemed to dominate a scene without trying so to speak.
Same as Karen Carpenter who often said the money’s in the basement.
If you want to understand the magnificence of Bing Crosby’s abilities, listen to him whistle in his songs. Trilling in tune (with grace notes!) and so fast. That requires incredible steadiness of breath and muscle control. And Dino. I always preferred him to Sinatra. Beautiful tone and phrasing. And just such fun and verve. “Ain’t That a Kick,” “Sway,” “That’s Amore.” So smooth. Great storytelling. It just makes you happy.
Thank you for this, Fil--you never cease to amaze! It's wonderful seeing a young guy (compared to me, at least) with more encyclopedic knowledge of the history of popular music than most combined with such a high level of technical understanding. You're a young man with an old soul! The insight into Bing's importance to microphone singing is one fewer and fewer people know about anymore. Again, thanks, brother!
As a rocker, you could take the easy way and just analyze other rock videos. Instead you cover every possible genre and every era because the respect you have for other musicians. I know why Led Zepplin was great, I've learned so much by your videos about non-rock artists.
eclectic is the proper word to describe phil
Led Zeppelin were great precisely because they drew on such a wide range of influences. Bonham loved Motown and funk, Jones jazz and classical, Page rock n’ roll, folk and ‘world’ music, Plant rhythm and blues and West Coast psychedelia. Bring all those musics together, stir well, add the personality and talent of the individual musicians (with wide-ranging interests outside music) and you end up with Led Zeppelin. If you grow up listening to nothing but Led Zeppelin you end up with Muttley Crüde.
ok gotta be honest, first off, RELUCTANTLY hit the view on this because I am totally not in to this "crooner " type music. my sisters and I used to mock my parents loving this and I must admit I am just not into it. Fil, your analysis gave me such an appreciation for what the talent these guys had that I've missed all these years.
although I am still not a fan of this style I now have a greater appreciation of their talent and I thank you for taking the time to explain it all to me.
love your analysis, ty!
Very well said, David Levin. Fil is one of the most respectful individuals I've ever seen.
Phil.Thanks for expanding my Horizons.
Great analysis. You should analyze Bing when he was at his vocal height in the late 30s, 40s and early fifties. That's when his voice was recorded in mono, but it was so rich, he made mono sound stereo!
Another artist that got up close and personal with the microphone was Jim Reaves. Could you do an analysis of gentleman Jim, Fil? Thank you!
Would love that .. Especially if it was "He'll Have To Go" .. One of my favourite songs.
Yes please, Jim Reeves voice is like warm honey.
Jim Reeves and Nat Cole...the two smoooooothest voices ever.....
On Mr Reeves too. Streets of Laredo
And let's not forget Pat Boon.
Gosh..i love that period in time..Dino ..Second coolest person behind Elvis..Bing..Great as usual...Dino with the Pall Mall cigerreet....thanks Fil
Hey, Mark! This was a fun one from such a couple of cool guys! Well, three, counting Fil!
@@lynndow3185 Yes ..Fil at our Cross the Pond Kegger singing Dean Martin tunes
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 Ha! I could see it!
Two of my all time favorites
(& I'm pretty much a 60's, 70's heavy metal/hard rock guy)
@@reallymysterious4393 I can't argue with any of your choices.
I confess that as a Southern California 4 year old, I didn't believe in snow. Really. I thought it was a made up thing, like Tinkerbell, but then I heard White Christmas and for a second everything outside looked white. He was that persuasive. Loved this one, thanks!
That's funny..I've never been to California....But..aren't the snow capped mountains a short drive away Lynn.
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 Yes, they are, sometimes it's spectacular, but even seeing those, I didn't think it was snow that, you know, fell out of the SKY!
That's funny, but then you *_were_* only 4. I also grew up in SoCal, visited the snow a number of times growing up, but I was pushing 30 before I actually experienced snowfall.
Oh yeahhhhhh ... Professor your smile 😃 explodes on your face.. Thanks professor..so much knowledge...
Rock 🎸
Wow, Fil, your analysis of the legendary Bing Crosby was spendid! I'll admit to hearing the term "conversational singing" for the first time--earlier in the video--I wondered if it had to do with crooning. You clarified about this a short while later in the video, thanks! I learned a lot from your vocal demonstration in which Bing used his voice to hit "the low notes" and how the microphone was/is utilized in providing amplification depending on vocal pitch. As a musician, you teach me new things and remind me of what I learned. Fil, I truly appreciate your doing this for me. :)
Great to see you honoring these total Pros. Keep it up! Cheers!
Bing was instrumental in bringing Magnetic Tape recording technology from Germany into American recording studios after WWII.
I know that Bing was nicknamed "Der Bingle" but I'm not fully sure how he got the nickname. During my years of working in Recreation with elderly patients, I knew someone who was a TV camera man. He actually saw Bing, among many other famous people...believe me, this man was chock-full of stories!
GlamGal 710 👍
The first tape recordings took place in Germany in 1942, during the war. The first stereo tape recording was done in 1944 in Berlin during an allied air raid. Explotions can be heard in the background. The recording has been released on CD.
I see a couple of old friends having some fun while entertaining their audience. And, doing it wonderfully.
Thank you for a highly interesting commentary on Dean and Bing. Bing, of course, was the consummate showbiz professional. Thanks to RUclips that I can still listen to him, Dean, and Frank whenever I want.
Fil, I really appreciate your knowledge and understanding of musical and vocal talent that doesn't limit you to any one period or style. You're talented, you know your stuff and you kindly share some of your insight with us, your audience. Not everyone can do all three of those things. Always a pleasure and I learn something new - sometimes more than just one something new - from your videos. Much appreciated!
Thanks for telling Me about this Analysis Fil, spot on as usual. BTW Al Jolson was one of Bing's influences and They Recorded together on Record and Radio.
Have you done or considered doing analyses of some of the "less-traditional" vocalists/performers, like Jimmy Durante and Louis Armstrong? They might not have the silky-smooth vocals of guys like Dean or Bing, but man, their joy in performing comes right through!
Imo Louis could take ANY song, no matter how corny, & make you believe it. I've got some of his earlier stuff Hot 5s & 7s, including s CD called Louis in New York. Great work. Also had he & Ella Fitzgerald together great music.
I read about Bing Crosby, it was said, he did everything he could, to control his voice, his breathing etc. The parents had a lot of Dean Martin albums, a few Bing albums, but if you listen to his recordings, you never hear him take a breath. He mastered his craft, so well. Of course Bings hero was Louis Armstrong, from what I've read.(he was still alive when I was younger, but I got into him,chasing Lonnie recordings). Yes both men were great singers. Bing was a master though.
Thanks to my Mom I grew up hearing Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and all the big names contemporary singers from the 50's 60's and 70's. Keep Rockin' through the history of music Fil.
Hi Fil, Once again GREAT analogy about Bing using the new technology to make his voice sound so comfortable & effortless. Love Bing & Dean together.
My Mom Mom LOVED Bing Crosby, and for good reason. When Chrimcame around I’d get excited because I knew she’d be playing his music constantly at her house
Dean and Bing.. Two great choronas of all time... No one sold more records than Bings white Christmas.. My mom's had thier albums .. Greatest hits.. Along with the rat pack.. Class act's...
Every year I watch the movie White Christmas with Bing and Danny Kaye
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150
I know it's inspiring..
Beautiful family ... Fun...
Simple... Is the best...
The professor is a genius BTW
Wow so much class, what a duo! Love to have seen them in person. They just do not make them like this anymore, era gone for ever.
Fil you are so good at this , you study the person get information like getting to know them . it gives you the information you need . i don't think any one else has your system of reaction of said singers . May I ask you Fil what got you into these wonderful reactions from back in the day . was it the music , the voices , no auto - tune , or all of them . to actually be there back in the day watching these Amazing Stars was Beautiful !now seeing you do this bring those Wonderful Memories Back Thank You Fil.❤
good clip, they did a medley of Bing's big songs a year or two earlier. Great clip of Bing with Louis Armstrong in the '50s doing "Now You Has Jazz". or watch Bing and original jazz guitar master Eddie Lang doing movie clips "Please" or "Dinah" from 1932. Bings '30s stuff are the best, "Pennies From Heaven" "I'm an Old Cowhand" "Love is Just Around the Corner" "Please" "Pocketful of Dreams" "White Christmas" "Dinah" "Temptation" "One Two Button Your Shoe" "Where the Blue of the Night" "You're the Top" many others
Warm and happy times. Reminds me of LW.
Maybe Tony Bennet should be next. Turned 94 {!} yesterday.
❤Love Dean and Bing. Thank you.
I understand Bing's singing was somewhat controversial at the time as it was seen as too sexy. Those same people must have had heart attacks when Elvis came along!
Interestingly, Elvis was inspired by Dean, whom he credits with giving him some great advice when he started making movies. Dean told him, "You're a singer, not an actor. Don't try acting until you get hang of it, or you'll look stupid."
The great thing about these guys especially Bing, they never tried to sing out of their natural range. It made for a longer career singing. And if you listen to Bing's early recordings, (White Christmas etc) there's nothing 'smoother' than that man's voice.
History... thanks; great to see back in time. Thanks for your insights. 🖒🤠
Really enjoyed this. Love the comments and insights regarding the great musicians and singers from the 50s to the present, but also love hearing about the great musicians and performers of the earlier days. Thank you. Seems like you got it about right too. 😊 Crosby's voice deepened as he got older. Sending good vibes.
You brought another great song to life with with your analysis- Elise Frank’s mom thanks, always learn something new🙏
Thanks Fil...good times...ahhhhhh the 70's.
thankyou fil wings of pegasus, another wicked video.. its great how a rocker such as ur self can get so much enjoyment.. came to bing through the road movies, such an entertainer.. and fils ability to appreciate good music, good entertainment.. its so catching.. (i love the big cheesy grin while ur watching..) Keep up the good work 🙂
I’m a bit late with this one, Fil. Just to say, I have a large collection of old 78rpm shellac records.
In my collection *was* the original release of “White Christmas”...! I stress ‘was’ because I accidentally knelt on it one day while sorting through my collection!!! It broke into about three pieces! Agggghhhhh!!! 😩
In a sense it was not too great a loss as it was such a huge hit that the record is not a rarity. In fact, there are probably lots of those presses around even now.
Two legends with both such immediately recognizable unmistakable unique vocals! The golden age of classy performers. This is EXCELLENT. An era that sadly is long gone in this cookie cutter autotuned world of Muzak today. As a rocker l always had great respect for the old masters. This was an excellent analysis Fil! Thanks!🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
Thanks so much for covering these amazing singers/performers! Without them, maybe a different Elvis, and everyone after them. Still giants after all these years! Really appreciate your covering icons like this in addition to all the more modern ones.
Wow!!!!👏👏👏👏Fil what a wonderful analysis besides that you selected two great Artists and singers one of them Bing Crosby a true SUPER STAR .... Movie actor and an extraordinary singer of great bands and with a privileged voice few singers today have this privileged gift of co tF with this voice and that great personality and talent how not to remember his album "Blanca Navidad " incredible also Dean Martin another great singer and comedian 🎤🎙🎼🎵🎶♩🖒🖒🖒... you unite the musical origins of what today Rock is today all that evolution in The music that has been given since ancient times and that in the last century was given more quickly I congratulate you again for this great selection for analysis I hope you can continue analyzing more genres that evolved towards rock and roll and came to rock to diverge as the havy metal, pop rock, psychedelic rock from the late 60's and early 70's or jazz rock...👌👌👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌⚘⚘⚘🤘👊
Of that generation of singers, always loved his voice best.
He has been my favorite for over 70 years now! I'm older than dirt!! LOL
Such a great and informative analysis! I learned so much!
Best analyst of voice out here on YT!!!!!
Thanks!
I hope the very short prologue is a one off thing. I like hearing about what's what in your life and band and whatnot.
I love Bing Crosby's voice so much more than Frank Sinatra's. For me he has a warmth of tone that is just wonderful to listen to. Having said that I love hearing Swell Party from High Society , which he sang with Frank Sinatra. I also love his duet with Grace Kelly - True Love, from the same film. He made everything look so easy. I think the late Doris Day had the same gift.
Bing is my absolute most favorite voice, THE BEST VOICE EVER!
LOVE THOSE OLD SONGS 😍😍😍😍
I am so amazed to find thid video. I just watched Fil's analysis of Frank Sinatra. Fil is so open to so many musical genres. That's a real musician. I have always hated greasy Dean Martin,(I confess, not a good thing about me) but I've learned so much from Fil's videos. Thank you Fil, for giving us so much.
Thankyou for bringing back all of these singers. These two make magic together.
Thank you so much for your work on these Videos Fil , but especially this one . By watching the comment section on your videos I surmise that , at 73 , I am around the middle of the pack in your Demo . But I predict that as the world moves on and my cohort gradually leave this life YOU will be instrumental in keeping the history of popular music alive and , who knows , maybe part of a resurgence of older music one day .
The generation starting now are the first to have over a century of electronically recorded musical artists and not just the "little black dots". Of course it remains to be seen if they will take advantage of this fact
But , anyway , thanks again , for Bing was truly a giant of musics history .
It can't get any better than this. Two giants from bygone era. Many thanks Fil for your analysis and expertise.
I really enjoyed this video, Fil. It was obvious you enjoyed their performance, which added to its appeal. Interesting points you brought up about the vocals and also a good snapshot of Bing's history. Outstanding!
You did Bing! Thank you!
First time I heard of Bing Crosby was on a Christmas album I got at a local shop. That was when I was 8. As for Dean Martin I grew up with him. My second grade teacher would play Dean Martin's CD's in her class room. My mother also had plenty of cassette tapes in those days. She played plenty of those tapes. People will tell me I am too young for Dean Martin. I have said it before and I shall say it again. No one is ever too young for music.
Well spoken Mr. Blue!
I love your appreciation for singers that were before your time and your explanation of singers not hitting the notes exactly doesn't mean that they are bad singers they do for effect or style, singing is an art.
I just came across this. They were absolutely delightful. Your history of Bing is spot on.
Whenever I make comments about Bing I always say "Bing was the BEST VOICE EVER" because that's how highly I think of him, having grown up in the 1940's and he was EVERYWHERE: records, radio, and movies. But you have given some good EVIDENCE in what you said about his voice to back that up!! THANKS!!!!!
I am so lucky to have been born in 1959 and able to see/hear so many artists of every genre everyday on TV, radio and my parents record collection.
The whole ease of the performance and gentle but convincing vocal deliverance from them made that era so endearing and very comforting .. Loved Bing .. Brilliant thanks
THANK YOU!! I have been waiting and looking for SOMEONE to FINALLY discover Bing who was the Elvis of his day, his contribution to the entire music industry, hie ENORMOUS talent and his contribution to his country. These are MY guys I grew up with and so grateful that we have recordings so I can listen to them over and over again. Thanks again. Do one on Al Jolson who was considered the WORLD'S GREATEST ENTERTAINER in his time!
Thanks Fil! This is first time I've seen them together. Just straight-up entertaining from two confident, comfortable, guys.
I end up watching you more than the performers. Love your face expressions, impressed by your insight and knowledge. Thank you
Great to see you cover Bing Crosby, Bing was everywhere growing up as my Dad was a huge fan.
I've heard that once Bing started recording his radio shows it gave him more time to play golf as he didn't have to be at the studio for the broadcast, also Dean refused to rehearse his tv show to give himself more time for golf, when Dean looks shocked on the show it's usually because he is, but he was so relaxed and at ease he could cover mistakes without a problem, sometimes he just laughed it off. Two of the greatest together, thanks Fil
Very impressive. You really do the research for these. Bing and Connie Boswell were also the first to record with a mic. Prior performers like Jolson and Irving Kaufman had to use the same stage projection technique for the recording horn in order to have any presence on acoustic recordings that their generation were making before the late twenties.
Great analysis! I was wondering if you could do a video about Al Jolson because i feel not many people nowadays appreciates his voice especially in his later years. Even bing himself said Al was one of his favourite perfomers and i think it would be a very interesting video idea👍
Hi Fil! Now we are going back to when I was in my 20s...these two were absolutely fabulous! I always say how lucky I was to come of age musically when I did...Dean and Bing were two of the greatest performers I was blessed to hear when they did this show! I had to smile when I saw you were going to showcase these two...they made everything look so easy! You could tell they enjoyed being together! Thanks for taking me back! Loved it! ✌️
Thank you very much for this nostalgia fix! The memories uncovered are sublime. You have covered the technicalities of so many styles to date that it’s both professional and impressive. Now, if you could analyse, say, Motörhead and Throbbing Gristle, you would have covered pretty much all of the styles, apart from the world of classical/orchestral music (which would call for much longer videos).
Trivial opinion: if amplification had not been invented, Perry Como would never have had a career. A great job once again! If I could subscribe twice I would.… 😎
Thanks, Fil! I just got back some connectivity since when tropical storm I. hit CT there have been trees downed, so all utilities suffered. This was fun to come back to. My Mom loved Bing Crosby and we both loved Dean Martin. I hadn't known of Bing's early career and who he played with.
This was great Fil..So well done! Thank you for doing reviews of the classics like Bing and Dean, as well as all the other artists you cover.
How very cool for you to review such an old, classic duo! I just love your reviews!
Thanks for the great analysis Fil. Learned a lot from this video
Bing Crosby and a David Bowie did a duet on a Christmas special in the 70’s. You might do a video on that sometime.
A good word for describing this kind of singing is "relaxed".
I love that you span the generations in your music appreciation! The 60s were a transition decade. Crooners like Dean, Frank and Bing we’re still recording and popular while Elvis, The Beatles and British Invasion, and The Beach Boys we’re sharing the radio waves. Lots of variety and all good! Great time watching your analysis and your smile of enjoyment as you view these masters at work!
Great video as always... however, I would pair this with his subsequent performance with David Bowie, “Little Drummer Boy”. Talk about revolutionizing an approach to a traditional Xmas song... by both of them.
(Also... With all the Xmas decor showing up in the stores in a week or two, now would be a good time)
Fantastic! So interesting thank you ❤️
Perfect as usual.
I could listen to them all day Fil! Two sensational crooners that had it all....style, class and amazing presence! Yeah....just brilliant! Awesome Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀👌🤘
Impressive analysis and helpful to us who have no clue.
Bing was my Mums favourite artist. A great analysis again ! Perhaps you would like you to analyse Bing singing with Grace Kelly ‘True Love ‘ from the movie Holiday Inn.
I absolutely love how you analyze the great singers in history. It really helps me appreciate them even more. Thank you, Fil!
