Description
The first volume of this set was met with rapturous reviews by the prestigious BING magazine published by the International Crosby Club: 'This CD is an absolute gem. All 27 of these tracks appear on an 'official' CD release for the first time and the quality is excellent.'
The songs on Volume 2 date from 1949 to 1955 when Bing was recording a wide variety of material and employing different types of accompaniment from the Latin-American Bando Da Lua through Russ Morgan to the big band of Tommy Dorsey. Bing demonstrates his amazing versatility as he copes with all the challenges presented to him with his usual rich melodious tones.
There are songs from two of Bing's movies - 'Mr. Music' and 'Here Comes The Groom'. From Broadway you will hear ditties from the short lived 'Texas', 'Li'l Darlin', 'Lost In The Stars', 'Guys And Dolls' and 'Pipe Dream'. Several of the songs on the CD are duets, with his son Gary and with Donald O'Connor.
Here is the opportunity to hear Bing in his mellow period when he was no longer chasing chart success. It's like a reunion with an old friend - warm, nostalgic and somehow reassuring.
