Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby was a singer and actor from Tacoma, Washington who became one of the most commercially successful entertainers of the twentieth century, working across pop, jazz, and traditional vocal styles. He recorded more than 1,600 songs and appeared in over 70 films, and his relaxed, conversational delivery made him one of the most influential voices in American popular music. His career stretched from the late 1920s through the 1970s, with a particular hold on holiday music that has never fully faded.
