Bing Crosby - 708 Episodes of Bing Crosby's Radio Shows

(4.2 stars; 5 reviews)

This upload contains 708 episodes of Bing Crosby's radio programs, which spanned over three decades.  Harry Lillis Crosby, Jr., better known as Bing Crosby (1903-1977) was one of the early giants of entertainment.  Popular in movies and radio, and later television, Bing's "crooner" singing style captivated millions and made him one of the biggest draws of the era.  Radio was made for Bing, and vice-versa.  Crosby loved the informality of the medium, and he was the driving force in allowing prime time programs to transition from live broadcasts to transcription.  Bing was a mainstay of radio for over 30 years, starting with his first solo radio show in September 1931.  Crosby would continue on radio until 1962.   The collection below is a compilation of all of his different shows during the era: 1. 15 Minutes With Crosby (1931-1933) - 1 Episode 2.

I will add to these collections if I discover new episodes or if any new episodes become available. Additionally, while I tried to put together a collection that contains the best version of each episode that I could, there may be better copies of some recordings available from collectors and dealers, and I encourage you to reach out to them if you are so inclined. We OTR enthusiasts owe a huge debt to those who have worked tirelessly to discover, acquire and preserve these recordings. My role here has been to organize the files I have, verify the dates, episode numbers and titles as best I could from available sources, and correct and rename the files accordingly. My goal is to ensure these excellent artistic expressions of our past are preserved for this and all future generations, and I hope that by uploading all of my files here in a uniform and organized system, they will be easily accessible for all.
