'COMM:ID3v1 Comment:XXX' 'by John Bush \r\nBing Crosby w' 'COMM:MusicMatch_Bio:eng' ('by John Bush \r\n' 'Bing Crosby was, without doubt, the most popular and influential media star ' 'of the first half of the 20th century. The undisputed best-selling artist ' 'until well into the rock era (with over half a billion records in ' 'circulation), the most popular radio star of all time, and the biggest ' 'box-office draw of the 1940s, Crosby dominated the entertainment world from ' "the Depression until the mid-'50s, and proved just as influential as he was " 'popular. Unlike the many vocal artists before him, Crosby grew up with ' 'radio, and his intimate bedside manner was a style perfectly suited to ' 'emphasize the strengths of a medium transmitted directly into the home. He ' 'was also helped by the emerging microphone technology: scientists had ' 'perfected the electrically amplified recording process scant months before ' 'Crosby debuted on record, and in contrast to earlier vocalists, who were ' 'forced to strain their voices into the upper register to make an impression ' "on mechanically recorded tracks, Crosby's warm, manly baritone crooned " 'contentedly without a thought of excess.\r\n' '\r\n' "Not to be forgotten in charting Bing Crosby's influence is the music itself. " 'His song knowledge and sense of laid-back swing was learned from early jazz ' 'music, far less formal than the European-influenced classical and popular ' "music used for inspiration by the vocalists of the 1910s and '20s. Jazz was " 'by no means his main concentration, though, especially after the 1930s; ' 'Crosby instead blended contemporary pop hits with the best songs from a wide ' 'range of material (occasionally recording theme-oriented songs written by ' "non-specialists as well, such as Cole Porter's notoriously un-Western " '"Don\'t Fence Me In"). His wide repertoire covered show tunes, film music, ' 'country & western songs, patriotic standards, religious hymns, holiday ' 'favorites, and ethnic ballads (most notably Irish and Hawaiian). The breadth ' "of material wasn't threatening to audiences because Crosby put his own " 'indelible stamp on each song he recorded, appealing to many different ' 'audiences while still not endangering his own fan base. Bing Crosby was ' 'among the first to actually read songs, making them his own by interpreting ' 'the lyrics and emphasizing words or phrases to emphasize what he thought ' 'best.\r\n' '\r\n' 'His influence and importance in terms of vocal ability and knowledge of ' 'American popular music are immense, but what made Bing Crosby more than ' 'anything else was his persona — whether it was an artificial creation or ' 'something utterly natural to his own personality. Crosby represented the ' 'American everyman — strong and stern to a point yet easygoing and affable, ' 'tolerant of other viewpoints but quick to defend God and the American way — ' 'during the hard times of the Depression and World War II, when Americans ' 'most needed a symbol of what their country was all about.\r\n' '\r\n' 'Bing Crosby was born Harry Lillis Crosby in Tacoma, WA, on May 3, 1903. ' '(Bingo was a childhood nickname from one of his favorite comic strips.) The ' 'fourth of seven children in a poverty-level family who loved to sing, he was ' 'briefly sent to vocal lessons early on by his mother, until he grew tired of ' 'the training. An early admirer of Al Jolson, Crosby saw his hero perform in ' '1917. Crosby sang in a high-school jazz band, and when he began attending ' 'nearby Gonzaga College (he had grown up practically in the middle of the ' 'campus), he ordered a drum set through the mail and practiced on the set. ' 'Introduced to a local bandleader named Al Rinker, he was invited to join ' "Rinker's group, the Musicaladers, singing and playing drums with the group " 'throughout college.\r\n' '\r\n' 'Though the Musicaladers broke up soon after his graduation in 1925, Bing ' 'Crosby was ready to stick with the music business. Crosby had made quite a ' "bit of money during the band's career, and he and Rinker — who was the " 'brother of Mildred Bailey — were confident they could make it in California. ' 'They packed up their belongings and headed out for Los Angeles, finding good ' 'money working in vaudeville until they were hired by Paul Whiteman, leader ' 'of the most popular jazz band in the country (and known as the "King of ' 'Jazz" in an era when black pioneers were mostly ignored since they were ' "unmarketable). For a few songs during Whiteman's shows, Rinker and Crosby " 'sang as the Rhythm Boys with Harry Barris (a pianist, arranger, vocal ' 'effects artist, and songwriter later renowned for "I Surrender Dear" and ' '"Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams"). With their clever songwriting and stage ' "routines, the trio soon became one of the Paul Whiteman Orchestra's most " "popular attractions, and Crosby took a vocal on one of Whiteman's biggest " 'hits of 1927-1928, "Ol\' Man River." Besides appearing on record with ' "Whiteman's orchestra, the Rhythm Boys also recorded on their own, though an " 'opportunity for Crosby to enlarge his part in the 1930 film King of Jazz ' 'with a solo song went unrealized, as he sat in the clink for a drunk-driving ' 'altercation.\r\n' '\r\n' 'When Whiteman again hit the road in 1930, the Rhythm Boys stayed behind on ' 'the West Coast. After Crosby hired his big brother Everett as a manager, he ' 'began recording consistently as a solo act with Brunswick Records in early ' "1931, and by year's end had chalked up several of the year's biggest hits, " 'including "Out of Nowhere," "Just One More Chance," "I Found a ' 'Million-Dollar Baby," and "At Your Command." He appeared in three films that ' 'year, and in September began a popular CBS radio series. Its success was ' 'similarly unprecedented; in less than a year, the show was among the ' "nation's most popular and earned Crosby a starring role in 1932's The Big " 'Broadcast, which brought radio stars like Burns & Allen to the screen. By ' 'the midpoint of the decade, Crosby was among the top ten most popular film ' 'stars. His musical success had, if anything, gained momentum during the same ' 'time, producing some of the biggest hits of 1932-1934: "Please," "Brother, ' 'Can You Spare a Dime?," "You\'re Getting to Be a Habit With Me," "Little ' 'Dutch Mill," "Love in Bloom," and "June in January."\r\n' '\r\n' '"June in January," itself the biggest hit at that point in Crosby\'s young ' 'career, signaled a turn in his career. Brunswick executive Jack Kapp had ' 'just struck out on his own with an American subsidiary of the British Decca ' 'Records, and Crosby was lured over with the promise of higher royalty rates. ' 'Though his initial releases on Decca were recordings from his films of the ' 'year — "June in January" was taken from Here Is My Heart — Crosby began ' 'stretching out with religious material (such as "Silent Night, Holy Night," ' 'which became one of his biggest sellers, estimated at up to ten million). ' 'Late in 1935, he signed a contract for a radio show with NBC called Kraft ' "Music Hall, an association that lasted into the mid-'40s. After his first " "musical director, Jimmy Dorsey, left, Crosby's songwriter friend Johnny " 'Burke recommended John Scott Trotter (previously with the Hal Kemp ' 'Orchestra) as a replacement. Trotter quickly cinched the job when his ' 'arrangements for the 1936 film Pennies from Heaven produced the biggest hit ' "of the year in its title song. (He would continue as Bing's orchestra " "arranger and bandleader into the mid-'50s.)\r\n" '\r\n' 'After the biggest hit of 1936, Bing Crosby followed up with — what else? — ' 'the biggest of 1937, just months later. "Sweet Leilani," from the similarly ' 'Hawaiian film Waikiki Wedding, showed Bing the direction his career could ' "take over the course of the 1940s and '50s. Though he had recorded several " 'cowboy songs earlier in the 1930s as well as the occasional song of ' 'inspiration, Crosby began covering everything under the sun, the popular ' "hits of every genre of contemporary music. These weren't castoffs, either; " 'many of his 1940s country & western covers were hits, such as "New San ' 'Antonio Rose," "You Are My Sunshine," "Deep in the Heart of Texas," ' '"Pistol-Packin\' Mama," "San Fernando Valley," and "Chattanoogie Shoe Shine ' 'Boy."\r\n' '\r\n' 'With the advent of American involvement in World War II, Bing Crosby entered ' 'the peak of his career. Arriving in 1940 was the first of his popular "Road" ' 'movies with old friend Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour, along with three of the ' 'biggest hits of the year ("Sierra Sue," "Trade Winds," "Only Forever"). ' 'Crosby and Hope had first met in 1932, when the two both performed at the ' "Capitol Theater in New York. They reunited later in the '30s to open a " 'racetrack, and after reprising some old vaudeville routines, a Paramount ' 'Pictures producer decided to find a vehicle for the pair and came up with ' 'The Road to Singapore.\r\n' '\r\n' 'More popular success followed in 1941 with the introduction of the biggest ' 'hit of Papa Bing\'s career, "White Christmas." Written by Irving Berlin for ' "1942's Holiday Inn (a film that featured a Berlin song for each major " "holiday of the year), the single was debuted on Bing's radio show on " 'Christmas Day, 1941. Recorded the following May and released in October, ' '"White Christmas" stayed at number one for the rest of 1942. Reissued near ' 'Christmas for each of the next 20 years, it became the best-selling single ' 'of all time, with totals of over 30 million copies. It was a favorite for ' 'soldiers on the various USO tours Crosby attended during the war years, as ' 'was another holiday song, "I\'ll Be Home for Christmas." Crosby\'s popular ' 'success continued after the end of the war, and he remained the top ' 'box-office draw until 1948 (his fifth consecutive year at number one).\r\n' '\r\n' 'As with all the jazz-oriented stars of the first half of the 20th century, ' "Crosby's chart popularity was obviously affected by the rise of rock & roll " 'in the mid-\'50s. Though 1948\'s "Now Is the Hour" proved his last number ' 'one hit, the lack of chart success proved to be a boon: Crosby now had the ' 'time to concentrate on album-oriented projects and collaborations with other ' 'vocalists and name bands, definitely a more enjoyable venture than singing ' "pop hits of the day on his radio show, ad nauseam. Inspired by the '50s " 'adult-oriented album concepts of Frank Sinatra (who had no doubt been ' 'inspired by Bing in no small way), Crosby began to record his most ' 'well-received records in ages, as Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings (1956) ' 'and Bing With a Beat (1957) returned him to the hot jazz he had loved and ' 'performed back in the 1930s. His recording and film schedule began to slow ' 'in the 1960s, though he recorded several LPs for United Artists during the ' "mid-'70s (one with Fred Astaire) and returned to active performance during " '1976-1977. While golfing in Spain on October 14, 1977, Bing Crosby collapsed ' 'and died of a heart attack. \r\n' ' \r\n') 'PCNT' (Play counter) PCNT(count=0) 'TALB' (Album/Movie/Show title) 'Christmas' 'TBPM' (BPM (beats per minute)) '145.790' 'TCOM' (Composer) 'Johnny Marks' 'TCON' (Content type, a.k.a.
