BLUE SKIES in my opinion is the ultimate Crosby movie. Great Irving Berlin songs and great technicolor makes the movie. It is my favorite Bing Crosby movie. It is paired with a great Bing Crosby jazz movie, BIRTH OF THE BLUES

If you want to see Bing Crosby bust his acting chops, watch this movie. It is a great dramatic side to Bing Crosby that we hardly see.

Another masterpiece of a music. Frank Sinatra was good in the film, but Bing Crosby was better...and one of Bing's last great big Hollywood musicals.

Good & Rare, Vol. 2Good & Rare, Vol. 2 by Bing Crosby
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $11.97
Volume 1 of Good & Rare was GREAT, but this second CD of the series is even better. I recommend both volume 1 and volume 2, but the material and sound of these rare Crosby records are great. Most of these songs have never been released since the days of 78rpms.
