"This is *not* the "Absolute Best" of Bing Crosby. No way! I have been following Bing's career since I was 6 years old and own nearly every song he ever sang and I have never heard of "Dardenella," which is inexplicably included on this collection.There is simply no way to condense Bing Crosby's prodigious musical catalgue into 10 songs and many of these songs were never issued as singles, much less regarded as a hit. It's totally insulting to include a non-entity as "Bye Bye Blues" on a Crosby collection os supposed hits. Bing's great songs from his golden era of the 30's and early 40's comprise 10 great songs in *one* month.The songs selections here cater strictly to Bing of the 40's and 50's, when Bing's voice was not as compelling a musical instrument as it had been in the 30's. Avoid this sorry collection, if you're seriously interested in understanding and appreciating Bing Crosby, please consider buying the better 4-disc collection offered on Amazon."
