My Life with Bing

Being a Bing Crosby fan of both music and film, I found this tome very enchanting. It draws the reader into a long gone era of beautiful music and film while profiling the lives of the Crosby family. Kathryn tells her readers about the real Bing, the brilliant and talented husband, father and family man. A true Crosby fan can see thru all the media garbage written about this wonderful performer and finally enjoy the family stories that truly represent this exceptional performer. He was truly an icon, and should be remembered as one. Thank you Kathryn for your brutal honesty and enchanting stories.

I bought this book when it first came out twenty years ago. Mrs. Crosby gives a very good insight into the man to whom she was married for almost 20 years and, yet, you never get the impression she gives away more than Bing Crosby would have wanted her to. Their marriage is described as one in which both parties loved each other very much, and yet one that, like any other, had its ups and downs. Mrs. Crosby writes very well and with great humor often poking fun at herself. Its a very enjoyable book filled with wonderful photos.
