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.

A lot of cobwebs in your head,
You're getting rusty, so you say,
You feeling bad, and everything looks gray, and say,
You're getting worried, yes indeed,
I know exactly what you need:
A little sunshine will make you feel okay!
Now lookie here:
Give the blues a chase,
Find a sunny place,
Go and change your face
With sunshine!
With sunshine!
Pay your doctor bills,
Throw away his pills,
You can cure your ills
With sunshine!
Why don't you take your tear drops one by one,
Before it gets too late,
Hang them up out in the sun,
And they'll evaporate!
When the trouble starts
Pounding at your heart,
Trouble will depart
With sunshine!
