Multimedia star, Bing Crosby, was a leader in record sales, radio ratings, and motion
picture box office grosses. Crosby’s early career coincided with innovations in recording
techniques which allowed him to develop an intimate singing style that influenced
many recording artists who followed; including Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, and Dean
Martin. Today (April 1st) for Melodies & Memories Historical Recordings
feature, we’ll be mixing Bing Crosby sides from the Thirties and Forties with a few
by The Mills Brothers.
