I don’t think people today appreciate the important place Bing Crosby holds in the history of popular singing in America. It’s hard for us to understand what a place he held in popular culture - records, radio, movies (55 of them plus Best Actor Oscar), then television. An incredibly successful businessman, he was an early adapter in magnetic audio tape and then video tape. Even baseball - 2 World Series as co-owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates. But it all started with that voice!
Well, this is a weird one! Most of this video was already posted a few months ago, the "Alexander's Ragtime Band" part, and can be found on this channel. The only difference here is that this version of the edit is a minute longer because it adds "That International Rag" but still cuts off the first part of the medley, which can also be found posted separately on here. So, to summarize, this is a repeat video for the most part, but it's a slightly longer edit. Strange occurrences!
@@MostlyBrenda Yes, but it's not really a new one since it was posted before. Of course, that's a redundancy on top of a redundancy in a way, so that might have been your meaning there! :)
@@TomElvisSmith Absolutely, you can say that again! 😁 No, really you can see how the show did not adjust and the ratings began to dip. The Grassroots have to do three hits in 3 mins and Bing gets to do a another full version of a song from 1911.

Good Old Fashioned Entertainment. Where have a our values gone? Thank you for sharing! 💖
A classic crooner and entertainer. Superb.
What a find ! Bow down ! Both Bing and Peter Gennaro are in complete harmony in this clip.
Love Bing Crosby ❤

Quando parla possiede la stessa musicalità di quando canta .
Nicely done! Good old time tunes

@nosiefish Yes, I really look forward to their uploads every day!
Still another "Ragtime Band"? It's from the Department of Redundancy Dept.😉
