Close-up on Crosby - the Voice of the Century
He was the most popular singer of all time. "White Christmas" sold over 30 million copies, and his total record sales are well over 350 million. In films, he was the top box-office star for several years in succession and in the 30s and 40s he dominated the airwaves. Yet he made an art out of seeming casual and lazy. It was one of the greatest acts in the history of show business, as George Perry reveals in tonight's look at the life and music of Bing Crosby. Producer Madeleine Cuming
