What's After the Movie
Bing Crosby
Harry Lillis Crosby Jr. (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977), known as Bing Crosby, was an American singer, actor, television producer, television and radio personality, and businessman. Known widely as one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century worldwide, Crosby was celebrated for his tremendous breakthroughs in multimedia. He made an impressive mark with record sales, network radio ratings and motion picture grosses from 1926 to 1977. His influence in music was profound and several artists, including Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Dick Haymes, Elvis Presley and John Lennon were influenced by his intimate singing style. Before and during World War II, Crosby was recognised as doing the most for the morale of overseas servicemen.
In 1948, Crosby won accolades for being the 'most admired man alive', beating Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII. The extent of his popularity was such that his recordings filled half the airtime for recorded radio music. Having a successful acting career, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Going My Way (1944) and was nominated for The Bells of St. Mary's (1945). He also achieved significant recognition in other ventures, such as being an early investor in the fledging tape recording industry and helping establish videotape recording for commercial use, having sent the first tape recorded transatlantic radio broadcast.
