4/4. Fifty Years of Bing. In the sweltering summer of 1976, Bing Crosby chose to celebrate 50 years in show business with a concert for his fans in London. On stage again for the first time in 40 years, he appeared with special guest Rosemary Clooney , and his wife and children. For the medley of 33 of his greatest hits, he was alone. Even in his 70s, Bing was still magic; the pioneer of the microphone had lost none of his skill. Paul Gambaccini remembers.
