Description

"Call Me Lucky" is a portrait of one of the most gifted of all American entertainers. In it, Bing tells how he developed his unique singing style to produce a string of hit, jazz and pop records. He tells stories about music, horses, golf, movies and personalities - Bob Hope, Bix Beiderbecke, Dwight Eisenhower and Louis Armstrong. It all adds up to a story in which, at the apex of his fame, Crosby looks back on his career and says with modesty, "Call Me Lucky".
