About

In this commanding biography, eminent cultural critic Gary Giddins takes us on the remarkable journey that brought a provincial young law student from Spokane, Washington, to the pinnacle of the entertainment world. He follows Crosby from college minstrel shows to vaudeville, from Paul Whiteman's orchestra to matchless success in Hollywood, from pro golf tournaments to his courtship of Dixie Lee.
