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.

Please Lyrics
Bing Crosby
PLEASE
Bing Crosby
(Robin, Rainger)
- Bing first recorded "Please" Sept. 16, 1932 with the Anson Weeks Orchestra.
It spent 16 weeks in the charts, including six weeks at No. 1. Bing
recorded it again July 27, 1940, with John Scott Trotter's Orchestra. And
it charted again the following January. According to Paul McCartney, the
Beatles first hit recording, "Please Please Me," was inspired by Bing's
recording of "Please."
Oh, Please.
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too.
Please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through.
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, Please.
Say you're not intending to please
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too.
(Bing whistles and da da dees)
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please,
Tell me that you love me too.
