Bing_Crosby |
 | | Bing Crosby's influence on popular culture and popular music is large, as from 1934 to 1954 he held a nearly unrivaled command of record sales, radio ratings and motion picture grosses. |
 | | Bing Crosby's desire to pre-record his radio shows, combined with a dissatisfaction with the available aluminum recording disks, was a significant factor in the development of magnetic tape recording and the radio industry's adoption of it. |
 | | Nathaniel Crosby, his youngest son from his second marriage, was a high-level golfer who won the U.S. Amateur at age 19 in 1981, becoming the youngest-ever winner of that event (a record later broken by Tiger Woods). |
