I was 13 when this was on. I'm 80 now. Gary Cosby came in my dad's Standard Station and got gas with Bing Crosbys Standard Gas Card with Bings Car. He talked with my dad quite awhile. Dad brought the printed carbon he had to turn in to Standard oil to show us. WATTS STANDARD SERVICE IN OTTUMWA IOWA.
Gary was such an incredible talent. He had talent, charm and personality. So sad he took for granted all these amazing opportunities he had access to because of his father. He never learned to truly appreciate what he was given. Had he put in more self-motivated work and energy into it instead of aimlessly strolling from one incidental job to another, he could have really made it - despite the immense pressure and expectations that came from being the son of one of the most famous people in the world. Judging from the amends and confessions Gary made in his later life after publishing his (self-discredited) book, he admitted that he had terribly misinterpreted his father's attempts at helping him through his struggles. At the end, Gary admitted his faults, mistakes and guilt - which is quite honorable in that respect. May he rest in peace.
Poor kid, Louis’s career never did take off, lol! Mr. Armstrong was and still is a legend. My favorite song of his is “I Wonder.” That was such a cute and cool duet between him and Gary Crosby. Thanks so much for sharing. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
How about possibly the first ever TV "slap me some skin" or "slap me five" handshake and Ed with the hip behind the back receiving some skin @1:10 saying "gimme that boy" lol.
@@lewiscarey6984 Bing bent over backwards to help all his boys careers in show biz, including this appearance. They were all drunk, hot heads even tho they could sing
Debunked rubbish...Gary didn't even really write the book. Sad he tarnished his father's legacy...Bing arranged for Gary to tour with the gorgeous Mr Armstrong...imagine a once in a lifetime opportunity ruined by Gary's unprofessionalism.
Gary Crosby's life and the lives of his siblings, really too tragic & sad; I find this hard to watch, especially the beginning when Sullivan is needling Gary about his weight, which Bing also did. This is so for me regardless of the conclusions Giddens came to and of the opinions of those who can't handle the dissonance between their own views of Bing and Gary's memoir. But Gary did have a fabulous voice. To my ear it was even better than his father's.
You mean Gary's memoir that was pieced together because Gary admitted he couldn't remember writing large parts because of his drinking. Which was verified by the co-author when asked. If you can't remember writing your own book and had the book pieced together it doesn't bode well for the believability of said book. Bing was trying to protect Gary from the struggles that both he and his sister went through because of their weight..I've read Bing's sister was bullied because of this as a child and Bing stepped in to defend her. Ever stop to think that Gary was his own worst enemy???I mean when a horrendous story is traced back to Gary only to have him deny the whole story when reinterviewed it makes you question the accounts written. When said son admits to his stepsister that what was written wasn't really how it went down and the real reason why the book was made so salacious...then 🤷🤷🤷Seven children and only one, the eldest who was noted to have been adored by his father, given major opportunities by his father, was bailed out of trouble time and again by his father, was looked after financially by his father, had anything bad to say..whilst other children defended their father....what can you say🙄
@@keithkirk8697 Did you read why they did??? What happened leading up to them doing this??? Nothing to do with Bing...they were early to mid fifty year old men.

I love Louie and love watching Ed Sullivan on Decades channel on cable TV !
Yes, nice to hear someone call him Louie :) I always heard him back in the called Louie :) I still do.

Satchmo was an absolute musical master ! Amazing what he was doing with so much joy ! Great video !!!
Sunday May 15,1955 Toast of The Town I believe that song was written by Johnny Mercer Savannah,Georgia native my hometown😀👍🏿🎶
Never knew Gary could sing.

The great Armstrong style uplifts and reaches a new pinnacle.
Wonderful Louis Armstrong & Gary Crosby! Great memories. Thank you.
Precious gems.. thanks for your content ❤

Sounds like the Bingster
Gary Crosby had an incredible voice, but he had a bad feeling... He left us too soon.
If Byng showed encouragement to his sons, where they could have! SACHMO!!! One & Only Louis Armstrong 👍👍👍Great upload👍
I still don’t forgive him for writing that biography of Bing, and what he accused him of, which turned out to be just a pack of lies.
Gary had enormous talent !
He had a significant acting career, working in Jack Webb's television programs.

Talk about a...
Blast From The Past ...
this would be it!💥
When television was delightful.
First time I've heard lyrics for this song!
El gran Satchmo nunca decepciona. Tocaba a toda potencia por esta época.
There has been no bigger than Pops!!! 🎶🎺😁
I'm watching reruns of Adam 12, I was pretty young when the show first aired, didn't remember Gary being on the show, so I had to look him up
I am truly shocked. I never knew this man could sing like this. And singing along with satchmo. He held his own Made me wanna go eat barbecue.
Barbecue meant a little something else in the context of this song. Harlem Jive from the 20s and 30s. Barbecue was a fine, sexy lady.
Love Louis! Should be good. Go Niners!
Go Tenors!
Gary Crosby(June 27,1933-August 24,1995)
Is the entire backup up band hideing behind the curtain. True musicians
Whoa! Gary Crosby could really sing! Too bad his dad, Bing, was so abusive and made his life so difficult. And Louis Armstrong -- what a legend!!❤

What gives? Ed isn't any more fit than Crosby was here. I think he was rude.

@@mitzymoo3151 Two of Gary's siblings committed suicide. Probably just a cheap attempt to make Bing look bad.

This song had lyrics ?
Why don't I get Ed without music acts??
you mean you dont get Topo Gigio LOL
We didn't need Gary. And he seemed to know it.
How did Floyd Burney survive being slaughtered by the Rayford Brothers?
