- This is a film clip from "The Road To Hollywood" showing Bing Crosby singing "Just One More Chance" and "I Surrender Dear". These were originally part of some comedy shorts produced by Mack Sennett in the early 1930s.

There will never be another like Bing......singer, personality, comedian, dramatic actor....unearthly talent,I miss him too.
The fact.
Oh wow!!! How magical was that?!? I love the part when he's starts getting his groove on when he's singing "Just one more chance". The little gestures, his head rocking...Bing was so cool! Especially the early Bing, I just have a fascination for him and his work at this time..there's so much more to him than "White Christmas"
The expressions on her face. So subtle. So ambivalent. Bing remains one of the greatest popular singers of all time.
THE GREATEST FOREVER.
Greatest of all time
In my early teens in the 1940's and finally hearing those early thirty recordings I couldn't believe any ones voice could change that much in ten or twelve years. Those early recordings where hard to get and I started a life time of collecting those early recordings. At 83 i'm still listening to them
he is very handsome!! and has a marvelous voice
Bing #1. Especially these early renditions.
Magnificent. As if Enrico Caruso and Louis Armstrong were one human being.
I melt every time I hear his voice.
The best crooner of the 20th century!!!
My favorite song of Crosby & The Rhythm Boys, with Whiteman, was "At Twilight"---incredible, but nearly forgotten today. My father danced to Crosby and the Gus Arnheim Orchestra at the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. in October 1931, the very time when Crosby was releasing "Just One More Chance" as a record, and the beginning of his stardom. Dad's date that night: Pat Ryan, a rancher's daughter from the San Fernando Valley, later known as Pat Nixon.
Brilliant! He looks really young and handsome here!
This is fun- Bing at his early great- and two wonderful old tunes, nicely done. Thanks for the music and the great old flicks. Back when "gay" meant happy. I suppose it still can, and does. No matter- just good music, and a classic classy performer.
Thanks for it all.
And old favorite of mine. This is much better than the record versions.
It was nice to see Buddy Clarks' name mentioned. He was one of my favorite singers. Most people remember him for Linda, but my favorite was All By Myself. What a beautiful voice he had.
Thank you! I saw this clip[ on TV in the early 1990's and have been looking for it since. Croby is a classic -- and his older material is clean --- pure and spot on!
Always one of my favorites &a good friend of my cousin Pat O'Brien.
Bing sang so beautifully. An original with His own unique style ....him alone no one could come close before or after
And don't forget that VOICE.
sigh wonderful song :}
Bing was the best of all the crooners I miss him
Certainly
I love that song.Bing was a great singer.I like his early years the best.Another favorite singer of that era was Buddy Clark.
It's a bit sad that when people think of Bing, they'll most likely going to think of either his 1940s recordings or his later annual Christmas Specials on television. While they are certainly not bad, I don't feel like they define the game-changer that was Bing Crosby. Anyone who's interested in his music should listen to his earlier renditions such as this one. Nobody, simply nobody could replicate his style from the 30s. Man was on a league of his own.
Super!!!!
Again -- I listen to Der Bing and I am just amazed on how GREAT his sings -- soooo clean --- they do not make any more singers like Der bing.
@jdub03 My dad always said that no one could sing quite like Crosby. It took me a few years to appreciate this but how right he was! I never tire of listening to his songs.
so sweet......sigh
Wow! Bing had it all! Now #1 in my opinion!
Bing was a lover of Al Jolson and black singers and their music and styles
Thank god for you tube.
Thank you very much, so the music has been composed by both.
Go for it Bing!
A remarkable talent who evolved fascinatingly. His early recordings have almost nothing to do with his later recordings--it's like hearing diffeent singers. My favorite Crosby song no one knows, "Maybe I'm Wrong Again." It took 50 years to get a copy and was worth the wait.
The 1st time I saw this video was on TV --- and said, "gee -- I wish I could see this video again....." Thank you.....
Does ANYONE have Bing at the Coconut Grove? I think the name of the song that I am looking for is - "What Is This" --- it was recorded live at The Coconut Grove.....thanks!
This clip makes me think of Rudy Vallée, his wooden like performances, his effeminate tone.
Bing, with his bass-baritone voice, his class ,was what we needed , then and now.
Der Bing!!! How true --- how true.
ME TOO, u would NEVER really imagine how much I do =)
love it always did gbu
In his great book on Crosby, Gary Giddins tells us that the name of the actress Bing kisses in the video was Patsy O' Leary who "looks genuinely surprised when he kisses her and cannot keep a straight face as he rocks the tune."
OLD IS WONDERFULL
Gold... :]
Are you sure its Sam Coslow?
According to polish sources (I made a query meanwhile)
music to this was written by Arthur Johnstone, so was given at the record of Zofia Terne. Another source, the CD with Mira Ziminska (2003) writes that the composer was R.Rodgers.

He also anonymously paid the hospital bills for Mildred Bailey, one of the greatest female singers of the era and an early 1920s protege of the Rhythm Boys, who died of kidney disease in 1951, I think. She had married and divorced bandleader Red Norvo, another of the greats. I think she was Harry Barris' sister. There was a big fuss at the time over whether Crosby's help was to be made public, and he of course insisted on remaining anonymous.
rosby... was important in introducing into the mainstream of popular singing an Afro-American concept of song as a lyrical extension of speech... His techniques-easing the weight of the breath on the vocal cords, passing into a head voice at a low register, using forward production to aid distinct enunciation, singing on consonants (a practice of black singers), and making discreet use of appoggiaturas, mordents, and slurs to emphasize the text-were emulated by nearly all later popular singers
What kind of nonsense is this? Afro Americans invented popular song? Who were these black singers?
Bing cited Louis Armstrong as his biggest influence. That's who.
Judi Anderson-Plessis Bing and the microphone happened at the right time to change everything.
oh wow this is really cool
In Poland, before World War II it was a hit, polish text to it has been written by Marian Hemar, tittled "Nikt tylko Ty" (Nobody else, only you).
I would like to know who has written the music. Beautifull interpretation. I love Bing voice.

Just One More Chance... Felix and Gloria's song in The Odd Couple !
Bing could outsing Frank or Dean.
Who are they?
Dear he came from Washington state not Alabama
Back in the old days This is His unique style no one else's
Actually you missed none of the road films, although this 1931 Mack Sennett short film named, “I, Surrender Dear” after the song which Bing had recorded earlier in the year, seems to be prototype for the “Road” pictures nine years later with Bob Hope. This is examined closely in the book, “The Hollow Man,” an in-depth bio about Crosby. This film’s success and his marriage to Dixie Lee gave him the impetus to go solo.
How can 9 people dislike this? They are obviously 12. Although I.m only 23.
Oh, how could that girl just sit there like a piece of wood while Bing was breaking it down to her like that....THUD! Great bit of stuff that:)
Exactly Judi - Crosby phrased just like a Black singer, he had a wonderful baritone voice. The Boswell sisters were hep in the same way and later Frank Sinatra.
I like your vid clip and I've rated it as awesome. I've done another video clip on some old cigarette cards of 1930's movie stars, including: Bing Crosby, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Clark Gable, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo,Johnny Weismuller, Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard.
I'm getting this sheet music
Find some utube videos of Jean Sablon, the "French Crosby," who sounded remarkably like Bing. I wonder if they ever met.
2:11-3:05, Bing lays.it.down.
Right on! Hard not to rock with that syncopated rhythm.
@Berddog Well said -none better
This is a great song by a great singer. But the all-time best version of this song is an instrumental by The Three Suns.
Should've googled first! It seems she's Patsy O'Leary, aka Patricia O'Day. (See the others in the clip at "The Road To Hollywood" 1947.
amazing, madonna made a version live and is good too, very nice song
@dogstoerd ah ha I got that reference "High Society" is it?
Bing paved the way for every other crooner. Yes, even Sinatra. Bing did it better.
That poor old man with the young woman.
Really? Dixi Lee kicked him out?....WOW. Thanks for the piece of trivia.
I LOVE CZcams !
Brilliant and sensual and swinging. Bing began as a drummer, so catch the napkin-rimshot of erotic triumph at 2:20. Could they wait until Niagara? I don't think so!
Who's the girl??
huh huh huh. hey beavis he just said "i may act gay".
Crosby was the first white singer to understand and demonstrate jazz phrasing - not that this clip shows that!
Sinatra was 'one of the newer fellas'!
@Volkmoidruk
I'm a great fan of early Bing. But, I have a theory about why he kissed the girl when she started to whistle. I think it's because she was whistling just as well as he did, and he always wanted to be the 'top dog' in any performance.
My interpretation was that he kissed her in appreciation of her mimicking him so well.
Ahead of his time vocally by a mile
I asked who this guy was at my jazz choir, and the whole group stared at me. I said I knew a bob crosby, they didn't know who that was. Found out, they are brothers. I like bob better.
yes --- a great voice. honestly....I do not enjoy his work from the late 60's. his early work was spot on!
Well no doubt, though. Man was way past his prime. This is Bing Crosby
Wonderful, except for the cornet player who sqwarked loudly.
Bog took over when Russ Columbo died.............and HE had a much better voice.
