This outstanding release features all of the music from Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamourís celebrated Road to. . . series. This is the first release ever to feature the really complete songs, most of which written by the phenomenal songwriting team of composer Jimmy Van Heusen and lyricist Johnny Burke from the 6 films made by the three Paramount superstars: Road to Singapore, Road to Zanzibar, Road to Morocco, Road to Utopia, Road to Rio and Road to Bali.
This edition includes all 47 tracks from the Road movies, plus a special bonus track "Thanks for America" performed by Bob Hope at one of his
USO appearances.
This timeless material remains as fresh and as lively as the day in which it was recorded. His commitment to entertain servicemen earned
him worldwide respect. With over 2,000 awards and 54 honorary doctorates, Hope is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the
most honored entertainer ever.
