Anyone know if any of the "boys" (in quotes because they're now all in their 70's) did any more movies/singing? There are quite a few characters in that group.
I'm only 16, but I've listened to these tunes all my life. But this song is special. I grew up hearing Bing's voice crooning me to bed... Haha, truly great memories. :-D
I'm watching this forum to see what direction it takes. Videos have been around long before MTV they were just produced for different venues. Whether they were musicals in the 30's to beach movies in the 60's and shows like the Monkees or Archies we have been surrounded by them. We'll all have different favorites. Here's my 1st contribution.
amazing. really, bing crosby is easily the best singer in history. He did something new that nobody had really done before. Jazz was a dirty thing in the 20's and bing crosby sort of decided he would go ahead and do his thing. Thank GOD he did. Clearly bing crosby has a better voice than frank sinatra, but frank sinatra is still amazingly talented and better than any of todays' singers. Long live frank, bing, dean and all the rest.
@xbarbiefacex Crosby was one of the first to make use of electric microphones and was therefore able to "croon" instead of needing to use full voice to reach the back of auditoriums. Also he was a good friend and student of Louis Armstrong, both of them smokers of marijuana. Bing was also instrumental in the development of magnetic audio tape.
Cool song. Bing Crosby's star status is unquestionable so don't worry guys. White Christmas will be a song that will last a long long time, as long as humanity holds good spirit in mind.
I love this song and what a beautiful voice Bing Crosby had. I have always enjoyed this movie-"Going My Way". There aren't any singers like him today-you can actually hear every lyric. My generation has missed out on a lot but it's great to see this on youtube because it just helps the classics endure longer.
Appearing in this scene, although I can't figure out which person it is, is the members of 'The Williams Brothers' including a young Andy Williams. Reference Internet Movie DataBase ( IMDB ). The Williams Brothers were also on the recording of this song which Crosby made.
what's great about this video are the kids singing. ethnically, brilliant! maybe not today but in the 1940's to have a black kid singing without the racial stereotype?
thanks and i remember that when i was a youngster in the fifties- you didn't have black cops or any black star who wasn't a token-
CLASSIC!! Thanks so much for posting this. Its terminally cute in some ways, but its somehow refreshing and "honest" in ways simply not seen very often in these decadent times.
A great lesson to stay in school and better yourself, regardless of race, color or creed. See the children in the choir.
This song inspired and helped me through grades K-8, H.S., university and MBA. As true a song today as when I started. Thank you to who posted this small treasure.
I've never really seen much of Bing Crosby before, but I've just started to get into him via Bob Hope and their films together, I've never really rated Frank Sinatra, Bing had alot more talent and comes across as being much more comfortable in front of the camera too.
Can you love Crosby without humiliate Sinatra? He prevents you from listening to Crosby? Why? You can not buy records, DVDs? Or do you suffer because someone loves Sinatra too? Crosby's voice was stronger than Sinatra's. But I love Frank more. And I don’t want to compare their talent or voice. It's stupid. They both deserve love.
@allabouteatvideo I dig the racial harmony. When this came out I'm sure there were many that said, those damn 'hollywood jews' promoting mixing of the races!
How can Tony say that Carl has a great bass voice, from the our gang 'Alfie was clearly soprano...not even close'! That's how I'll remember Carl singing...soprano!!
Riese Stevens was a mezzo-soprano/contralto with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Going My Way was one of her few forays in motion pictures. It wasn't her medium. It shows that one can be brilliant in one entertainment medium, but that it doesn't always translate well to another medium. Crosby was an exceptional performer, who could do practically anything with characteristic ease, but he couldn't have succeeded in Grand Opera. Even the greatest of singers had his limitations.
@MrBobbybrus I love Riese Stevens! Her voice was wonderful and some operatically trained singers did actually do well in movies such as Jeanette McDonald, Diana Durbin & Lily Pons. Even the sensational Yma Sumac was in movies and her voice was out of this world (multi octave singer)
My comment was not meant as a criticism of Ms. Stevens talents. She was an artist of highest calibre, an icon in the operatic world, and a great champion and ambassador for opera in general. But movies were not her venue, and I think she would have agreed with that statement. Going My Way is a great movie and Ms. Stevens as a player in that film did nothing to diminish its charm. I agree wholeheartedly with your other comments. Thank you for your response.
Incidentally, Bing Crosby was a baritone, the deepest male voice. He was also a ragtime jazz singer before he got into "crooning"... So who was better, Crosby or Sinatra? The answer is obvious... Frank Sinatra was still a teenager when Bing Crosby had been world famous for 20 years, and Sinatra idolized Bing Crosby. Sinatra himself admitted that NOBODY was better than Bing Crosby.
Bass is the deepest male voice, and Crosby was a baritone of wide range. Crosby was acknowledged as the greatest singer of his era, but that title was influenced by many factors such as his personality and easy popular charm that was evident in his radio and movie career. Bing was loved and that popularity prejudiced the perception of his voice. Artists such as Russ Columbo, Vaughn Monroe, etc. may have been technically better. Columbo was set to eclipse Bing had he not been tragically killed.
@ZeskoWhirligan Frank Sinatra was not always a teenager, he grew up, surpassed Bing Crosby and he became the best singer in the world pushing in the shadow of the former idol.
@ZeskoWhirligan It's not about who is better than another, it's about talent, pure unadulterated talent. Bing Crosby had his type of talent that cannot match nor be compared to Frank Sinatra, and vice versa, considering their music style are not even on the same plane of music.
@ZeskoWhirligan You ever hear of shapeshifting? She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady. Bend me, shape me, any way you want me. Every which way but loose.
I used to be in love with Frank Sinatra, but then I saw Road to Morroco. I fell in love with Bing! His voice is so rich and smooth! I do still love Sinatra, but I have to say: Bing has won me over! I love this particular song! Bing had something I dont think anyone can come close to, maybe Sinatra, but I don't think anybody else had or ever will. Dean Martin was good but when compared with Bing, I think it is clear who was better.
@Jacobrester so your taste in music ranges from crosby to Elvis? thats only a variety of ten years, not what i would call fairly educated. screaming jay hawkins is the incredible singer who sang "i put a spell on you". bing cannot perform, he gives the ham facial expressions but he doesnt move, he just sings in a strong deadpan croon. very dull and crusty. but hawkins never grew stale. by the way you should listen to bob dylan and the band for real brilliance, or some 1930's ragtime blues
@elstroshitnonstop Bing Crosby was singing and recording ragtime jazz and blues when it was NEW, back in the early 1920s. Bing hung out and performed with the Mills Brothers and Louis Armstrong in the 1930s. Bing only started "crooning" in the late 30s and 40s, but he could still get up and ACTIVELY PERFORM right alongside the biggest comedians such as Bob Hope and Danny Kaye. In the late 50s, 60s and 70s, Bing went almost entirely to television, and almost entirely to Christmas TV specials.
@neosyp - The first guy is William Frawley, who played Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy. In this movie he plays a music bigwig who buys that song from Father O'Malley (Bing Crosby). It's a great movie. If you can find it you should watch it.
and all the monkies are not in the zoo . .. how true is that! In Britain we vote them into government! :) Great wise ol song sung by the maestro himself.
Sinatra was still alive, performing, and popular when U.S.S.R. dissolved into various countries in the late 1980's, while Crosby had been dead for over a decade. That might account for his being better known.
It's a lie. I'm from Russia as well. Frank Sinatra mostly has ill fame (mob, shameful affairs, politic scandals) among the people in the street in Russia. Genuine amateurs of good music love of both.
@MrsHarryStreet вообще-то никаких наездов не было. Синатру я тоже очень уважаю, но ведь, согласитесь, вокруг него "рекламы" было больше. И я не имею в виду Россию, я имею в виду имидж вообще. А настроение я никому не портила ,просто высказала своё мнение. Вы не согласны - так зачем читаете?
ну если ваше сообщение самое верхнее, да еще переведенное на английский с самым большим количество одобрений, как же мне это не прочесть? Я не вижу никакой рекламы в отношении Синатры. Если вы имеете в виду феерический бред о мафии и его романах, то это не реклама. Да, Кросби не был ни в чем плохом замешен. Так это не проблема Синатры.
@MrsHarryStreet вы сами очень правильно написали, что оба певца достойны любви и уважения. Разве в моём сообщении было унижение в адрес Синатры? Повторюсь - я тоже очень уважаю Синатру, люблю некоторые его песни, - не все, но некоторые. И отмечено мною было лишь, что Синатра более "раскручен". Ну, а если вы очень хотите сделать из моего вполне невинного замечания проблему - что ж, это ваше дело. В конце концов, как вы опять-таки верно подметили, меня многие одобрили.
поклонники Кросби нашли себе отмазку - ах, этот Синатра так раскручен. У меня иное мнение. Фрэнки более яркая личность, горячий итальянский парень с ослепительной улыбкой гангстера, непредсказуемый, он умеет зажигать, в отличие от скучного и пресного Кросби, который и поет также - профессионально, но скучно и пресно.
@MrsHarryStreet вот как раз вы сейчас и опустились до оскорбления личности. А также многочисленных поклонников замечательного певца Бинга Кросби. У которого было и обаяние, и особая манера пения, и сильный, красивый голос. Не стоит забывать, что до Синатры он был главным певцом Америки, и при Синатре не сдал своих позиций. И, в отличии от Синатры, голос у него был действительно сильный. А вас мне просто жалко. Не можете привести доводы и скатываетесь до элементарных оскорблений.
Сама удивляюсь, почему Бинга Кросби с таким сильным голосом, обаянием и 500 миллионами проданных альбомов помнят гораздо хуже, чем посредственность Фрэнка Синатру. И что люди находят в этом тощем некрасивом чуваке с полным отсутствием голоса и слуха? Мафия форева.
@MrKiraofdarkness This song is from a classic movie "Going My Way" it also won an Academy Award (the song that is) and also an Oscar for Bing Crosby. (Best Actor)You are so right this song has class and good taste.It certainly is not junk. Have a hot dog day and thank you also for sharing.
They dont have any entertainers in this day and age with the musical talent that Bing Crosby had, he was 1 in a million. He can whistle & hum better than 90% of the popular musicains today. He was the Elvis of his time.
I personally believe Bing Crosby is the greatest entertainer ever.....and his professional stats bear it out....yes he is more impressive thanEllvis and the Beatles
@Jacobrester absolutely not. bing had a great voice, but there are no performers like black musicians- screaming jay hawkins is at least one who blows bing off the stage
Bbb-b-Bing! He was a great singer and actor. Always made me want some orange juice in the morning. And I doubt very seriously if they found the Shroud of Torin in his time capsule. I heard it was recovered years earlier on Elvis' person. Apparently he had run out of adult diapers and well... ya know.
Bing Crosby was and is the greatest entertainer to ever live......yes his accomplishments exceed Elvis and the Beatles. So few of the kids today even know who he is.
@tabitwin I am happy to hear that you know who Bing is. I loved watching his movies growing up. Ask your parents to rent more of his movies....for example....."The Bells of St. Mary's" ...and i tell you....if you like comedy.....watch Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and their ROAD MOVIES......they made about 9 of them together....you might start out with .....The Road to Morocco
@Jacobrester Glad you like Bing Crosby, the best of the road pictures is Road to Morocco, I like that one also. You may want to rent or watch White Christmas also an excellent movie. It is usually on televison around the holidays. Take care now.
This song was made in 1944 the year i was born.

I agree the music today leaves much to be desired, not good to dance too either.
Thanks for sharing.

Жаль, что Кросби не так известен в России, как Синатра ( наверно, рекламы меньше).

I believe it says "It is a pity that Crosby is not as well known in Russia as Sinatra (probably promoted less)."

Отлично исполнено . Truly, a superb voice !

@littlestuffedbull That's essentially what it says.
Sinatra was still alive, performing, and popular when U.S.S.R. dissolved into various countries in the late 1980's, while Crosby had been dead for over a decade. That might account for his being better known.

It's a lie. I'm from Russia as well. Frank Sinatra mostly has ill fame (mob, shameful affairs, politic scandals) among the people in the street in Russia. Genuine amateurs of good music love of both.

а без наездов на Синатру никак нельзя обойтись? Никакой рекламы в России нет, ни для Кросби, ни для Синатры. Не надо вводить людей в заблуждение.
Хотела просто послушать Бинга Кросби, надо было обязательно кому-то испортить мне настроение.
MrsHarryStreet 7 months ago
@MrsHarryStreet вообще-то никаких наездов не было. Синатру я тоже очень уважаю, но ведь, согласитесь, вокруг него "рекламы" было больше. И я не имею в виду Россию, я имею в виду имидж вообще. А настроение я никому не портила ,просто высказала своё мнение. Вы не согласны - так зачем читаете?

@KuklaVoskovaya
ну если ваше сообщение самое верхнее, да еще переведенное на английский с самым большим количество одобрений, как же мне это не прочесть? Я не вижу никакой рекламы в отношении Синатры. Если вы имеете в виду феерический бред о мафии и его романах, то это не реклама. Да, Кросби не был ни в чем плохом замешен. Так это не проблема Синатры.
MrsHarryStreet 7 months ago
@MrsHarryStreet вы сами очень правильно написали, что оба певца достойны любви и уважения. Разве в моём сообщении было унижение в адрес Синатры? Повторюсь - я тоже очень уважаю Синатру, люблю некоторые его песни, - не все, но некоторые. И отмечено мною было лишь, что Синатра более "раскручен". Ну, а если вы очень хотите сделать из моего вполне невинного замечания проблему - что ж, это ваше дело. В конце концов, как вы опять-таки верно подметили, меня многие одобрили.

@KuklaVoskovaya
поклонники Кросби нашли себе отмазку - ах, этот Синатра так раскручен. У меня иное мнение. Фрэнки более яркая личность, горячий итальянский парень с ослепительной улыбкой гангстера, непредсказуемый, он умеет зажигать, в отличие от скучного и пресного Кросби, который и поет также - профессионально, но скучно и пресно.
MrsHarryStreet 7 months ago
@MrsHarryStreet вот как раз вы сейчас и опустились до оскорбления личности. А также многочисленных поклонников замечательного певца Бинга Кросби. У которого было и обаяние, и особая манера пения, и сильный, красивый голос. Не стоит забывать, что до Синатры он был главным певцом Америки, и при Синатре не сдал своих позиций. И, в отличии от Синатры, голос у него был действительно сильный. А вас мне просто жалко. Не можете привести доводы и скатываетесь до элементарных оскорблений.
KuklaVoskovaya 7 months ago
Сама удивляюсь, почему Бинга Кросби с таким сильным голосом, обаянием и 500 миллионами проданных альбомов помнят гораздо хуже, чем посредственность Фрэнка Синатру. И что люди находят в этом тощем некрасивом чуваке с полным отсутствием голоса и слуха? Мафия форева.

They dont have any entertainers in this day and age with the musical talent that Bing Crosby had, he was 1 in a million. He can whistle & hum better than 90% of the popular musicains today. He was the Elvis of his time.

Bbb-b-Bing! He was a great singer and actor. Always made me want some orange juice in the morning. And I doubt very seriously if they found the Shroud of Torin in his time capsule. I heard it was recovered years earlier on Elvis' person. Apparently he had run out of adult diapers and well... ya know.

@tabitwin I am happy to hear that you know who Bing is. I loved watching his movies growing up. Ask your parents to rent more of his movies....for example....."The Bells of St. Mary's" ...and i tell you....if you like comedy.....watch Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and their ROAD MOVIES......they made about 9 of them together....you might start out with .....The Road to Morocco
Good Luck
Jacobrester 2 years ago
@Jacobrester Glad you like Bing Crosby, the best of the road pictures is Road to Morocco, I like that one also. You may want to rent or watch White Christmas also an excellent movie. It is usually on televison around the holidays. Take care now.
