This
two-CD set presents 59 unreleased tracks
taken from their radio sessions (The Bing
Crosby Show for General Electric, The Ford
Road Show and the Crosby - Clooney Show),
complete with some charming studio chatter
and fidelity that rivals their commercial
recordings.
From Martin McQuade's Liner
Notes:
“How about a dame called
Rosemary Clooney? Sings a good
song – and is purportedly personable.”
Thus Bing Crosby started a letter
dated August 20, 1951, which
he sent to an executive at Paramount
Pictures concerning the selection
of the leading lady for his
highly anticipated film, White
Christmas. With this recommendation,
Bing set in motion one of the
most enduring professional relationships
he would ever have.
