The suggestion was that Bing used Louis' great talent to boost his own 
public image.
True or false?
Very kind regards,
Bill.

Dear Bill,
I don't know, but it's true that Bing and Louis worked together many times 
well after Bing was a star world wide, and didn't need reflected glory from 
anyone else.

Best wishes
Jack
