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.

Love In Bloom Lyrics
Bing Crosby
Love in Bloom
- from "She Loves Me Not"
- words and music by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger
- as recorded by Bing Crosby with Irving Aaronson & his Commanders
in Los Angeles, July 5, 1934
Blue night and you, alone with me
My heart has never known such ecstasy
Am I on earth, am I in heaven?
Can it be the trees that fill the breeze with rare and magic perfume?
Oh, no, it isn't the trees, it's love in bloom
Can it be the spring that seems to bring the stars right into this room?
Oh, no, it isn't the spring, it's love in bloom
My heart was a desert
You planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fulfillment
Is it all a dream, the joy supreme that came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream, it's love in bloom
My heart was a desert
But you planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fulfillment
Is it all a dream, the joy supreme that came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream, it's love in bloom
