Our Take

BING CROSBY's "Victory Polka" is a delightful romp through the world of big band music, with a British twist you never knew you needed. The album kicks off with the infectious title track, setting the tone for the rest of the record with its lively brass section and catchy melodies.

Throughout the album, Crosby's smooth vocals are complimented by the tight harmonies of his backing band, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. Tracks like "London Pride" and "Underneath the Arches" transport listeners to a bygone era of swing dancing and picnics in the park.

One of the standout moments on the album is the cover of Vera Lynn's wartime classic "We'll Meet Again." Crosby's heartfelt delivery and the lush orchestration make this rendition a true highlight.

While "Victory Polka" may not break any new ground in terms of musical innovation, it is a solid and enjoyable listen that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. So go ahead, pour yourself a cup of tea, put on your dancing shoes, and give this album a spin. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Bing Crosby

Ah, Bing Crosby, the legendary crooner whose smooth vocals have serenaded generations of music lovers. With a career spanning over five decades, Crosby has solidified his place in music history as one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Born Harry Lillis Crosby Jr. in Tacoma, Washington in 1903, Bing got his start in showbiz as a member of the vaudeville act The Rhythm Boys before making a name for himself as a solo artist. His deep, velvety voice and laid-back charm quickly endeared him to audiences around the world. Crosby's golden era came in the 1940s and 50s, with hits like "White Christmas" and "Pennies from Heaven" cementing his status as a household name. But it wasn't just his chart-topping singles that set him apart – Bing was also a talented actor, starring in numerous films and winning an Academy Award for his role in Going My Way. Despite his immense success, Crosby remained humble and down-to-earth, earning a reputation as a true gentleman of the industry. His collaborations with artists like Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong showcased his versatility and musical prowess, solidifying his place as a true icon. And let's not forget Crosby's trademark style – from his dapper suits to his ever-present pipe, Bing had a look that was as timeless as his music. So here's to Bing Crosby, a true music legend whose legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
