| 'Harry Lillis 'Bing' Crosby' was a very popular American singer and actor. His biggest hit was his recording of the Irving Berlin song 'White Christmas', which became one of the biggest-selling recordings of all time. He had 21 other gold records; some of these include 'I'll be home for Christmas', 'Too-Ra-Lo-Ra-Loo-Ral' and 'Swinging on a Star'. He appeared in dozens of movies from the 1930s - 1960s.
Bing Crosby was born in Tacoma, Washington and grew up with Al Rinker, the younger brother of singer Mildred Bailey. Crosby and Rinker used Bailey's connections and joined Paul Whiteman's Rhythm Boys almost straight from school. He came to national attention while with the popular Whiteman Orchestra, with whom he made his film debut in 'King of Jazz' (1930). From then on he was a top stage and radio performer and a top-selling record artist. |
