That's What Life Is All About

"That's What Life Is All About" is a 1975 song recorded by Bing Crosby. It was originally written by Peter Dacre (lyrics) and Les Reed (music). Later, Crosby re-wrote the lyrics with Ken Barnes.

Crosby recorded the song on February 19, 1975 at Chappells in London with the Pete Moore Orchestra. The session was produced by Ken Barnes. It was included on the album That's What Life Is All About.

The song was released as a single by United Artists, and the recording peaked at no. 35 in the U.S. on the Billboard Easy Listening chart, also reaching no. 41 in the UK Singles Chart. It only reached #99 on the Australian Singles Chart, staying on the chart just one week.

Crosby used the song in his various concerts in 1976, including at the London Palladium (June 21–July 4, 1976), as well as promoting the song on television shows in the United Kingdom such as Parkinson, The Vera Lynn Show, Stars on Sunday and Top of the Pops. His appearance on the latter show prompted former British Prime Minister Edward Heath to attend the taping as Heath was a huge fan of Crosby's. The version sung at the Palladium was captured on the album Bing Crosby Live at the London Palladium.
