Black holes and neutron stars in globular clusters

I will present highlights of multiwavelength studies of extragalactic globular clusters. Among these are the evidence that cluster metallicity affects X-ray binary production; proof that some neutron stars are born with low kick velocities; and the resolution to a 40 year old debate: proof that some globular clusters can and do contain black holes.
