Bob Hope entertained new audiences with each new generation. He changed with the times, and remained popular over 60 years. This double c.d. set includes all of the classic Bob Hope tracks!

What makes this so special, however, is the fact that it includes the original radio broadcasts which took place before the song was sung. For instance, before the Sweet Violets song, you hear the hilarious radio broadcast, just as it was heard when it was first broadcast!

All of Bob Hopes friends join in the songs. Bing Crosby is the most represented, he is in most of the songs! Dorothy Lamour also croons along in some classics. Shirley Ross, Doris Day, the Andrews Sisters, and Judy Garland are also a few others!

This set is a classic. I think any Bob Hope lover will appreciate it! Enjoy!!!
