The Handsome Crooner
Basically to croon means to sing or hum in a soft, soothing
voice. The handsome crooner I’m referring to is Bing Crosby. When he sang love
songs he could make women swoon. He was born Harry Lillis Crosby Jr. on May 3, 1903 and was an American singer
and actor. He was admired for his bass-baritone voice making him one of the
best-selling recording artists of the 20th century. Crosby
was renamed when he was just six years old. He enjoyed a humorous section
called “The Bingville Bugle” which was part of the Sunday edition of the
Spokesman – Review”. It was a teenage neighbor who began calling him “Bingo
from Bingville” and over time the last vowel from Bingo was dropped and the
nickname Bing remained.
He started singing on the radio and among his popular songs
in 1931 were “Out of Nowhere”, “Just One More Chance”, “At Your Command” and “I
Found a Million Dollar Baby (in a Five and Ten Cent Store)”.
“Just One More Chance”
Among Bing Crosby’s most requested songs you’ll find
“Dinah”, “Did You Ever See a Dream” and “Love in Bloom.
“Did You Ever See a Dream”
His best love songs are such wonderful tunes as “I’m Falling
in Love With Someone”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, “My Melancholy Baby” and
“Let Me Call You Sweetheart”.
“Let Me Call You Sweetheart”
Some of his most popular movie songs are “Moonlight Becomes
You”, “Count Your Blessings” and “Be Careful It’s My Heart”.
