Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby (May 2, 1903 - October 14, 1977) was an American singer and actor whose career lasted from 1926 until his death in 1977. Bing Crosby's influence on popular culture and popular music is considerable as from 1934 to 1954 he held a nearly unrivaled command of record sales, radio ratings and motion picture grosses. He is usually considered to be a member of popular music's "holy trinity" of ultra-icons, alongside Elvis Presley and The Beatles. Bing Crosby popularized singing with conversational ease, or crooning. His musical interpretations amalgamated rhythm and romance with scat singing, whistling, rhythmic improvisation and melodic paraphrasing as elements of a hotter, sexier sound than had been conceived before.

Down By The River Lyrics
Bing Crosby
In a sparkling moment,
I loved you, you loved me.
Oh, how sweet fate can he.
In that happy moment
I forgot all my past.
Now I realize the way
The spell was cast,
At last,
Refrain
Once we walked alone
Down by the river ,
All the world our own
Down by the river.
Maybe the river made our love song start.
Full was the river, yet more full my heart.
So I love you two,
You and the river ,
I'll he there for you,
I and the river
You will remember when you hear my song
Down when the river rolls along
