Review:
Giddins lays the groundwork solidly, with pages of rigorous analysis not only of Crosby's family history and early career, but of every recording and film made by the unlikely idol... Move over Elvis, Crosby was king? If anyone can make you believe it, Giddins can. (SCOTSMAN)
Gary Giddins may be the best thing to happen to Bing Crosby since Bob Hope...Crosby couldn't have hoped for a finer biographer: elegant writer, informed historian, thorough scholar and one of America's most eminent jazz critics. (WALL STREET JOURNAL)
Gary Giddins has performed a great service in tracking Crosby's life and career so scrupulously...A masterly performance. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
