Bing, second to only the Mannheim Steamroller as the biggest-selling holiday act of all-time, will likely be remembered only during the Xmas seasons for generations. He has had #1 hits since the Great Depression (early 30s) and he has amassed several chart hits, more than Elvis. He probably won't get into the RRHOF, not even as an early influence although it would be nice.

I watch Ichabod And Mr. Toad on Halloween. Bing Crosby was the storyteller in the Ichabod part.

Bing Crosby is the greatest single American recording artist since the beginning of recordings. He was the number one recording artist in Pop, Contemporary, Jazz, and Country as well as the number one movie star during his career that spanned multiple generations between his first recordings in the 1930's to his death in the 1970's. His name was known throughout the World and was even a favourite of the German's during WW2 "Der Bingle". Even Frank Sinatra admitted that his career was based on that of Bing Crosby. It's interesting to note that Sinatra's early recording career was cemented on re-recordings of old Bing Crosby hit records.
