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.

June In January Lyrics
Bing Crosby
JUNE IN JANUARY
Bing Crosby
(Robin, Rainger)
- Bing's third No. 1 hit of 1934, and his biggest hit of the year, was a
beautiful ballad from Robin and Rainger, who wrote many of Bing's early
hits. "June in January" was from Bing's movie, Here is My Heart. Bing first
recorded the song Nov. 9, 1934. Two weeks later it had charted, and soon
reached No. 1, where it stayed for seven weeks. A month before his death in
1977 Bing again recorded "June in January" for his album "Seasons," which
was released posthumously.
A clouded moon creeps across the clouded sky
Winds of January sigh and moan
And yet it's June.
I can see a sky of blue
Dear the miracle is due to you.
Just you.
It's June in January
Because I'm in love
It always is spring in my heart
with you in my arms.
The snow is just white blossoms
that fall from above.
And here is the reason, my dear,
Your magical charms.
The night is cold
The trees are bare
But I can feel the scent of roses in the air.
It's June in January
Because I'm in love.
But only because I'm in love with you.
Oh the night is cold!
Won't it be to bear?
But I can feel the scent of roses in the air.
It's June in January
Because I'm in love
But only because I'm in love with you.
