Bing Crosby and Eddie Lang # 1 – S.B.
Bing joined the Paul Whiteman orchestra on December 6, 1926. It was not until October 27, 1927, that Bix joined the Whiteman organization. Bix and Bing must have become buddies very quickly. On October 29, 1927, after their performance with the orchestra at the Ambassador Theatre in St. Louis, Bix and Bing double-dated Ruth and Estelle Shaffner. Bing’s association with Paul Whiteman ended on May 6, 1930. As Bing started performing and recording as a solo artist, he hired the great Eddie Lang as his accompanist. This is a publicity photograph from the early 1930s.

Another publicity photo of Bing and Eddie. This was scanned by Sergio from p. 31 of the December 1932 issue of “Cinegraf” a magazine published in Argentina by Editorial Atlantida.
