Now, that's the fun part - down to business: Let's have a check on
the
'fidelity' - anyone care to stab a guess as to who's singing this:

Too easy. That's Bong Crispy.



Bugger....

That's the *fidelity* aspect out tha window then!

That isn't Bink Rosby, this is:

So who was it then? Sounded exactly like him.

Bloody hell - course it was.

How many films was that in? About five or six?


No idea, I only ever saw that once in 'White Christmas' when I wuz a
little kid and my dad took me to the cinema in (Old) Welwyn - I remember
I greatly preferred 'Davy Crockett, KOTWF' and 'Cockleshell Heroes' at
the time...!!


Never made it more than ten minutes into White Christmas. Too much
saccharin right from the start.

I preferred Holiday Inn anyway. By the way, it shows that at every era
there is a "style" of performance that dates the music. It sounded very
much like BC, but not quite, the style was the same, and I couldn't think
of who also sounded like him, as they pretty much all did. (SNIP)


There was a British crooner, Michael Holiday who sounded very much like
Bing. So much so that most people could not tell them apart.

He had a number of hits, the most famous being "Starry Eyed" and
"The Story of My Life" Sadly, he committed suicide in 1963
