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.

I Love You Lyrics
Bing Crosby
I LOVE YOU
Bing Crosby
(Cole Porter)
- Although he was said to dislike demonstrative lyrics that said "I love
you," Bing recorded two different songs in 1944 with the title "I Love
You." The Cole Porter version, recorded by Bing Feb. 11, proved to be one
of his six recordings to top the Billboard charts in 1944. This amazing
accomplishing was unequalled until the Beatles invaded America and charted
six No. 1 hits in 1964. That year the Beatles topped the Billboard charts
for 20 weeks. Bing's recordings topped the Billboard charts in 1944 for 30
weeks.
I love you
Hums the April breeze.
I love you
Echo the hills.
I love you
The golden dawn agrees
As once more she sees
Daffodils.
It's spring again
And birds on the wing again
Start to sing again
The old melody.
I love you,
That's the song of songs
And it all belongs
To you and me.
It's spring again
And birds on the wing again
Start to sing again
The old melody.
I love you,
That's the song of songs
And it all belongs
To you and me.
