This record comes from the personal record collection of Bob Crane, star of television's Hogan's Heroes. In addition to film and television acting, Bob was also star of the #1 rated Los Angeles morning drive radio show; "The Bob Crane Show" on KNX CBS radio. Included with this record is a personally signed note from Bob's son, Robert "Scotty" Crane - authenticating that this record was indeed part of his fathers collection. As a DJ - many of these records are promo items - some of them sent to Bob from the record company - but many were given to him directly from the recording artist. Bob Crane Bio: In 1950 Bob Crane began a radio career which eventually took him west to Los Angeles, landing him in the morning drive slot at CBS powerhouse KNX, w he became known as "The King of the Los Angeles Airwaves." Crane's show was not only wildly successful, it was revolutionary. Bob filled the broadcast booth with wry wit and charisma, not to mention drums, chimpanzees, and movie stars. His show was the number-one-rated morning show in Los Angeles and Hollywood's biggest stars were regular guests on his show; Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Regan, Jayne Mansfield, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Hope, and Frank Sinatra, to name only a handful. It was during his reign as "King of the L.A. Airwaves" that Crane captured the attention of CBS television executives. He began making guest appearances on The Dick Van Dyke Show, among others. Soon he landed himself a regular role on The Donna Reed Show as Doctor David Kelsey. Then, in 1965 Crane was offered the starring role in a highly controversial television pilot about Allied prisoners in a German P.O.W. camp. The pilot made a splash and Hogan's Heroes went on to become one of the most successful sitcoms of all time. In 1966 and 1967, Bob was nominated for two Emmy awards. In 1970 Bob married Sigrid Valdis ("Hilda" - Klink's secretary) and in 1971 Sigrid gave birth to Bob's son, Robert Scott Crane. Seven years, and a few "classic" Disney films later, during a 1978 run of the play Beginner's Luck, Bob Crane was brutally murdered in a Scottsdale hotel room. His murder remains a mystery.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR EMAILS RELEVANT TO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AUCTION. I THANK YOU IF YOU WERE A FAN OF MY FATHER'S WORK, BUT I CANNOT ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT DON'T RELATE TO THE AUCTION. Despite my attempt to keep my ads as informative, yet as simple and uncomplicated as possible, I have realized that record purchasers are another breed entirely. As a result, I am deluged with questions both bizarre, and occasionally frivolous. I tfore find it necessary to include this explanation of what to expect from me should you choose to bid on this or any of my other listed vinyl. I use the term MINT to describe the fact that I looked at the record under a normal lamp light and did not see obvious flaws. If I notice... read more
