American singer and actor (1903–1977)

Claude says:Bing Crosby's warm croon and jazz-inflected phrasing defined American pop in the 1930s and '40s, but in your world he's practically synonymous with Christmas—nearly all your plays cluster around the holidays, anchored by "White Christmas" and its seasonal satellites. There's something about that old-school vocal ease and the orchestral arrangements that hits different when the season comes around.
