Bing Crosby’s London Triumph & Spokane’s Raffles
Description
Bing Crosby celebrated 50 years in show business with a triumphant London concert—his first since WWII—where critics hailed his timeless vocal magic, even if his voice showed age. Joined by his family and guest star Rosemary Clooney, all 13 sold-out shows raised $122,500 for six British charities, proving his enduring star power and generosity. Meanwhile, in 1926, Spokane’s police and sheriffs had their own fun mystery: a fictional “Raffles” was “stealing” from lawmen at their convention, sparking a playful chase that ended as a lighthearted gag, blending humor with camaraderie among officers.
