About this music
Bing Crosby : the illustrated biography by Freedland, Michael, 1934- author is a music available to read on EtoBox.
Bing Crosby was one of the most popular entertainers ever to appear on film. He was a symbol of an era, embodying an old-fashioned nostalgia and a golden age in cinema. His films, from the nostalgic charm of "White Christmas" to "Going My Way," which won him an Oscar, have a timeless and enduring appeal. Strikingly handsome, with a soft, crooning voice and a relaxed demeanor, Crosby was a natural heart-throb; yet behind the image of the all-American icon was a fierce, deeply complex individual. In this new biography, Michael Freedland writes candidly about his subject. Drawing on new material, rare photographs, and previously unpublished interviews, <i>Bing Crosby: The Illustrated Biography</i> is a long-overdue portrait of one of America’s brightest stars. Among Michael Freedland’s many books are All the Way: A Biography of Frank Sinatra, Irving Berlin, Sean Connery, and The Two Lives of Errol Flynn.
It is typically read by artists, cooks, musicians and hobbyists working from how-to references.
