Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams--The Early Years 1903-1940
by Gary Giddins


Book Description
From 1934 to 1954, Bing Crosby utterly dominated American entertainment. Nobody has ever had as many hit records, and Crosby was the number one movie star five years in a row. The rise of Bing Crosby was the rise of American popular culture itself.
In A Pocketful of Dreams, the first volume of the definitive Crosby biography, award-winning music critic Gary Giddins chronicles the ascension of Bing's career. From Crosby's early recordings, to his triumph on America's most popular radio show, to his first success in Hollywood, Giddins provides the most detailed study yet of the rise of an American star.
