Editorial Reviews
Album Details
When He Began his Singing Career in the 1920's, He was Like the Elvis Presley of his Day: A White Man who Sounded Like a Black Man on his Recordings. But Not Only Did He have a Magnificent Voice, his Vocal Phrasing and Style Would Set the Standard for the Rest of the 20th Century. He was Modern Culture's First Mass Media Singing Star Between his Concerts and Radio Broadcasts. He was the First to Popularize Hawaiian Music to American Public, Followed by Countless Others. He Remained the Most Popular Man on Radio...and Then Came "White Christmas", which Became the Best Selling Recording for Most of the Century. This Special Double CD Includes Eight Tracks Making their CD Debut, all Restored and Transferred. Highlights Among the Tracks Gaining their Re-issue Debuts Here Include Bing's 1955 Version of the Classic "ol Man River", his 1939 Decca Version of "Stardust" and his 1940 Hit Version of "Please".
