CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
“I think popular music in this country is one of the few things in the twentieth century that have made giant strides in reverse.” - Bing Crosby
For the majority of Americans, he will always be the ultimate Crooner, a legendary artist who will never be surpassed in terms of fame and adoration. Still, Bing Crosby was so much more: When he was born, the music industry, the film industry, and the television industry were all in their infancy. He was instrumental in shaping the course of their growth. In his roles as the world's best-selling music artist, a fixture in film, the radio, and television, and a technologist who firmly believed in the power of his inventions, he played a significant role in shaping and reshaping American and global culture.
There was little hope for Harry Lillis Crosby's future when he was born on May 3, 1903, to a working-class, Catholic, Irish-Anglo family with strong roots in the Pacific Northwest. He was a talented musician, singer, and drummer and a bright and attentive student. His parents were thrilled with his decision to study law at Gonzaga University, and he had nothing better to do at the moment. He dropped out of law school two months before he was set to graduate.
