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.

Moon Got In My Eyes Lyrics
Bing Crosby
The moon was yellow and the night was young
A smile brought us together, a
And I was wond'ring whether
We'd meet again some day.
The moon was yellow and a song was sung,
That vocal inspiration gave me the inclination
To give my heart away!
Her we are. Is our romance to continue?
Will it be my luck to win you?
May I look that far?
Ah! My love is mellow and my hopes are strung,
Around that cupid fellow,
Behold! The moon is yellow,
And the night is young
