For more than 46 years, Bing Crosby ruled popular culture, first as a celebrated radio star, then on the silver screen, and finally on television. Over that time, he recorded over 350 memorable hits. This compilation from Reader’s Digest brings together the best of the best of those hits. You get 4-CDs and 80 digitally remastered tracks that showcase Bing at his resounding greatest.

CONDITION: Gently Used
CDs, jewel case and booklet are in very good shape.
Note: There is a slight crack in the back jewel case. (See scans above).

Rather than a chronological anthology, this set breaks Bing’s career into themes. Each of the 20 hits on CD #1 spent several weeks at the top of the US music charts, and include Bing’s most successful singles: "White Christmas," "Sweet Leilani," "Pennies from Heaven," "Swinging on a Star," and "Only Forever."

While CD # 1 is devoted to the hits, CD #2 compiles all his classic studio duets including delightful ones with his old pal Bob Hope, Al Jolson and the Andrews Sisters. CD#3 showcases rare duets from Crosby’s radio shows - with contemporary greats like Rudy Vallee, Rosemary Clooney, and Peggy Lee.

All in all an incredible retrospective of Bing Crosby’s prolific career.

- 80 tracks in total – on 4-CDs - all performed by Bing Crosby (and occasionally with his Hollywood friends)
- Also includes a sampling of his Irish and Country & Western songs.
- A true tribute to this incredible vocal talent.
- Comes with an informative 24-page booklet with notes on Crosby and the songs.
