The 30 songs here were originally broadcast “live” between 1937 and 1946 from the NBC radio show “The Kraft Music Hall” (KMH) hosted by Bing Crosby. They capture him on a variety of songs in full versions of which he never recorded commercially and performed at a time when he was at the peak of his career. It is said that the broadcasts commanded a listening audience in excess of an astonishing fifty million! The rare material here has been digitally re-mastered.

Please support this CD release! You can order here!
