I hope that Louie got his water...This was a real treat. I am sure I will be returning to this clip and playing it when I need cheering up. Thank you for uploading this treasure EP
On a major level, it's clear that Pops and Bing had great affection for one another, but Pops once pointed out that in all the years they had known one another and worked so successfully together, not once did Bing invite him to his house. So sad.
Bing was very disappointed and sad when he heard for the first time that Pops had said that. The thing is, especially after 1943, Bing barely ever invited anyone to his house. If you were a friend of Bing's it didn't mean automatically he'd invite you into his home - for Bing, friendship was not the needed criteria for doing that. There were few people outside of the family who got to see his home from the inside. Because for him, his home was something strictly for family and extremely rarely for a business meeting or a friend visiting him. If there ever had been a note of disappointment from Louis's side that Bing never had invited him to his home, the two of them apparently cleared that matter up as when confronted with what Pops had said on a second occasion, Bing just smilingly answered, "Well, Pops and Lucille never had me over to their house." The man who had confronted Bing on that occasion later said that the way Bing said that and the way he said "Pops" was so full of affection that you just knew how the two felt about each other. It really was a deep personal bond. One of Bing's biggest regrets in life was that he and Louie hadn't spent enough time together. He himself confessed it on many occasions and also told Louis and his wife Lucille in very heartfelt letters about it.
@@ep8324 Thank you so much for that clarification! Always it is the nuances and the details that inform a more complicated picture. And that is what human life is, and always has been about.
I watched an interview with Rosemary Clooney once and she disclosed that while Bing had lots of friends, he was extremely aloof and a loner and she said Danny Kaye wanted to be closer to him during the filming of White Christmas but he held him at arm's length. So I can see him not inviting anyone to his home, even people who were semi close to him
@@annemariewharton2797 Perhaps you did not read EP's fine, expansive rejoinder to my comment and my acknowledgment. It was not a "slur" in that I understood Pops took it personally and was apparently as unaware a I was of Bing's strange habits.
Wish they could make an autobio movie of Satchmo. Just like Richie Valens,Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, etc etc. The right person that could play the role of Louis Armstrong would be; Cuba Gooding Jr.
Louis died not long after this interview. Great to capture him on film at this point of his life.
Phenomenal. Two of the best performers of all time. -And their collaborations are some of the greatest gifts to music!
One of my fav Louis Armstrong songs... two of my fav entertainers all time. Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. Wow
I hope that Louie got his water...This was a real treat. I am sure I will be returning to this clip and playing it when I need cheering up. Thank you for uploading this treasure EP

Amazing interview..Thank You..for preserving great music history ...
G.O.A.T........
What a force of nature, charisma in buckets, I am absolutely grinning from ear to ear
my favorite friendship in show business, made up of two of the greatest artists of all time
Louis is a great storyteller!
Hope someone does a proper digital restoration of this classic clip. It'd be a real gem.
Love love love it.
“Id have to have a mouthful of hot rice to sing all those words he sings.”

That key was too high. Bing was a baritone. Thank you for uploading.

It’s sad you had to make an unnecessary slur.

A true original
Louis was beautiful
Do you have the October 7, 1971 interview with Dick Haymes?
Unfortunately not
1971年はサッチモが亡くなった年ですね。痛々しい。
