CROSBY BROTHERS. CROSBY Dennis 1934 91 CROSBY Gary 1933 95 CROSBY Lindsay 1938 89 and CROSBY Philip 1934 2004
Inscribed Photograph Signed
Bing Crosby's four sons toured together as a singing group throughout the 1950s and into the '60s appearing in nightclubs and on television. IPsS magazine stock 7�" X 6�" and 3�" X 6�" respectively n.p. 1960 February 2. Very good. Several faint and inoffensive tape stains at corners. This single black and white portrait of the four brothers in suits and ties appeared in a fan magazine spanning onto a second page where brother Phil apppeared at far right on the second page -- hence the admirer in removing it for signing had no choice but to remove it in two parts which when positioned side by side of course show the single image. The larger clipped image shows left to right Lindsay Gary and Dennis while the smaller clipped image shows Phil. Above his head Lindsay pens "To Don -- / Best of Luck Always -- / Lindsay / 2-2-60" alongside Gary's head he pens "Best wishes / to Don / Gary" and alongside Dennis's head he pens "Good luck Don / Dennis." Alongside Phil's head he pens "Hey Don / 'Keep swinging' / Phil / Crosby." Lindsay and Gary sign in blue ballpoint Dennis and Phil in red ballpoint. The jinxed and troubled Crosby Brothers had difficulty coping the demands of show biz couple with a famous father and alcoholic mother. Lindsay committed suicide by shotgun in 1989 Dennis committed suicide by shotgun in 1991 Gary died of cancer in 1995 and Phil of a heart attack in 2004. unknown
