- From the original broadcast, and not a later broadcast with reinstated content. Recorded March 3, 1977 and broadcast March 20, 1977. This is the concert in which afterward Bing would fall roughly 20-25 feet, consequently spraining the disks in his back.
In July 2022, this performance is itself 45 years old! Just delightful. So many have since passed on!
Bing was the kiing of song 📀📀📀📀📀OUTSTANDING a real true SUPERSTAR 🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This beautiful man, this icon....is only now starting to get the mistruths and complete lies from the past cleared up and his reputation restored. He had done so many good deeds, pushed forward progressiveness and inclusiveness for all, raised millions for charities, looked after acquaintances, friends and employees...all under the radar because he didn't want the accolades. He was quirky, private, kind, sensitive, loyal, generous and fair. He loved both of his wives and adored all of his children. He was a brilliant singer and actor, but better than that he was genuine and humble. Big thankyou to the wonderful Bing fan that provides these epic moments of footage and keeps Bing's image alive. He is my favourite and holds my ❤
RIP Bing Crosby! You will always be remembered
This is wonderful a truly wonderful tv special and worth seeing again and/or for the very first time here on You Tube!! Thank you "ModernBingFan" for posting this most marvelous tv special here and for keeping Bing Crosby's memory and legacy alive.
Bing was the BEST VOICE EVER!
What a voice he had...wow! Even at an older age, his voice was superb!
Bette Midler was great. Bing as always was Wonderful. Thank you very much.!
ModernBingFan thank you so much for these uploads. Great to see the full shows, including the Parkinson’s, of a fantastic performer and wonderful human being.
I'll settle for a "wonderful human being:
Bing was the best actor of all times he could d0 any part from priest to a drunk perfectly, and he had that most wonderful singing voice nobody could ever beat.
He did blackface in one of his movies
This was Match 20, 1977 and he die on October 15, 1977. He die doing his best pastime golfing in Spain.
He played 18 holes that day when his doctor told him to only play 9. What a legend.
Thank you, sincerely, for this upload. I have been looking for this for years!
Bing himself would only be around for another 6 months. He wasn't in the very best of health during the 70s. He had 1/5th of his left lung taken after that infection earlier in the decade, but still managed to give one hell of a performance. Thanks as always for uploading this, ModernBingfan.
there were rumors of lung cancer, maybe that's why he went to spain to have a good time, doctors sometimes recommend that when things don't last anymore in a tv documentary they said he had contracted fungus in his lungs during a trip to south africa and They had to operate on him, in one of these 50th anniversary presentations he fell off the stage and fractured a vertebra, in his last Christmas show he was seen consumed, it would not be unusual for a terrible pipe smoker.
@@juanpablotesore3140 This was the show where he fell. They just didn’t show that part!
He fell off the back of the stage at the end of this show. His wife thinks that caused his death months later. She said he was never the same after it.
@@juanpablotesore3140 It was cancer, or so they thought. Bing was fortunate enough that the tumour was benign, so the doctors were able to have it operated. He also said that after the surgery, he never touched his pipe again since he found the taste to be revolting (he speculated that it’s due to the stuffs they sedated him with during his recovery). The fall right after this reel was filmed worsened his condition even more, and many people believed that it led to his untimely death in October.
@@filmmekker That’s what Bob Hope thought too. I suppose they never really caught wind of his true cause of death until his corpse was brought back to the US.
I’ve always wanted to see this in its entirety! Thanks oh thanks for posting!!! I believe it was after this performance Bing had his unfortunate fall wasn’t it?
Yep yep…lol. Helps if I read the info block. Thanks again for posting! 😀
@@reiserstreasurehuntingempo8993 No problem!
Do u have On The Road with Bing? The Bob Hope special just after Bing's passing?
What can you say about a 5 star "Champ"..!!!!!!
Wow! Wonderful! ❤️
1:10:18 White Christmas. Even now, I can't get enough
Bing Crosby Classic Comedy Gala.God Bless RIP Bing. Class Entertainer's.America God Bless White Christmas Happy Holidays.
Amazing to me that they didn't StAND when he first came out.
Audiences didn't do standing ovations for everything back then. They saved it for the end if it was a really big performances or for career-recognizing reasons; as they did at the end of the show.
Regrettably, none of Bing's kids by his first marriage appeared on the special.
Poor Crosby fell off the stage at the very end of this after the camera stopped rolling... & he injured his back & had to be hospitalized for 3 months then soon after that... he died in October 14, 1977 due to a massive heart attack
In August 1977 he gave an outdoor concert in, I think, Sweden, that was broadcast there. It’s on you tube in its entirety. He seemed more frail.
Why is this not on dvd
But when he fell, at the end of the concert when everything was over? There is a photo of him on a stretcher with his hat on, I don't know if it was taken after he died in Spain or it was the day he fell.
The day he fell to my knowledge.

It was the last time America was great. Unfortunately that time has gone away. And with it has passed away the very feeling of perfection. Just compare it with the modern time - cultural level, human appearance, political and social agenda - to recognize how all the standards deteriorated and degraded...
I'm 81 and you've got that right. I grew up with Bing, Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman, Lawrence Welk , Guy Lombardo, all those wonderful Big Bands, Arthur Godfrey , Jack Benny , Mickey Roony and Judy Garland and so so many more! It was a wonderful time and I miss it terribly. ALL the music, the movies,TV , sports are disgusting today with their immorality, filthy language and greed for fame and money!
This is ridiculous.
@@jasonandlynnechambers3420 "the very feeling of perfection" doesn't ring true with me either. i love bing crosby though.
Lighten up, Francis!
At 53:30 that lady is dangerous, a couple of years later she shot JR... 😮
What Network Was This Aired On?
CBS. The special was produced for the network by the Koenigsberg Company, which no doubt videotaped more footage than the network could use in the 2-hour timeslot devoted to the special.
voiceover from actors is funny

I’m 33 years old
