 Bing Crosby
Although he refused to play screen heavies, in the 1950s Crosby proved his skill as dramatic actor with his complex performance as a washed-up, alcoholic singer in THE COUNTRY GIRL (1954); he played another alcoholic, this time a doctor, in the 1966 remake of STAGECOACH.
Crosby made his screen debut as a band singer in THE KING OF JAZZ (1930), but his most successful films were the ROAD movies of the 1940s with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.
Crosby co-authored an autobiography, Call Me Lucky, in 1952, but his son Gary's scathing portrait of his father in Going My Own Way 1983 reveals a stern, unloving disciplinarian in stark contrast to Crosby's easygoing public image.

 Harry Crosby --  Encyclopædia Britannica
A prolific U.S. poet and hymn writer, Fanny Crosby is best known for her song “Safe in the Arms of Jesus.” Although she was highly popular in her day, both her poetry and her hymns suffer generally from cliché and sentimentality.
Beginning in the late 1960s, singer-songwriter-guitarists David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash parlayed their high harmonies and soft-rock songs into multi-platinum hits to become (with the later addition of Neil Young, born on Nov. 12, 1945, in Toronto, Ont.) one of the supergroups of the 1970s.
Contains an extensive FAQ section, news updates, a bulletin board, quotes from the performer and his contemporaries, music clips, and lyrics to Crosby's hits as well as a discography and filmography.
