Book Reviews of Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams--The Early Years 1903-1940
Book Review: 6 Stars for Bing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful read even if all you ever knew about Bing Crosby was that he sang White Christmas. It is carefully researched and rich in history. The best part for me was that before I read the book I liked Bing's music and films and now, I like Bing. What a brilliant combination - a writer of Gary Giddins' caliber writing about one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century. I am a great fan of both talents and eagerly await volume two.
