I was only listening to good old Al today in the car. In fact to one of the radio shows he did with Bing Crosby for Chesterfield. From 1949 - it was a really great show and BOY could he sing! He also told some great jokes too including ones about Sophie Tucker and also Bob Hope - made me chuckle out loud.
This is the set of shows I am currently working my way through. They really are good and i'm enjoying them a lot.
Bing Crosby Show CDs
It was a shame Al died so young (relatively speaking)
