| | Bing Crosby was among the first to actually read songs, making them his own by interpreting the lyrics and emphasizing words or phrases to emphasize what he thought best. | | | Not to be forgotten in charting Bing Crosby's influence is the music itself. | | | As with all the jazz-oriented stars of the first half of the 20th century, Crosby's chart popularity was obviously affected by the rise of rock & roll in the mid-'50s. |

| | Biography for Bing Crosby |
| | Crosby kept busy on-screen through the mid 1960s, in mostly undistinguished fare; his last musical was the Sinatra "rat pack" saga Robin and the Seven Hoods (1964), and his final dramatic role was in the 1966 remake of Stagecoach | | | Crosby took another chance, and received critical plaudits (plus an Oscar nomination) for his most dramatic work to date, as an alcoholic singer in The Country Girl (1954). | | | With his relaxed jazz phrasing and intelligent interpretation of song lyrics, Bing Crosby rev olutionized popular vocal styles in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and pioneered the crossover success of pop singers on movie screens. |

| | While Elvis fans may request that this requires Bing's total to be halved for comparison (reducing it to $2.351 billion, indicating that he was still well over 3 times as popular in the movies as Elvis), it needs to be acknowledged that the number of movies Elvis made was partially determined by their success. | | | What these adjusted numbers imply is that in his time, as a move star Bing Crosby was 6.7 times more popular than Elvis Presley was in his. | | | Summing the values for each man suggests that Bing was still at least twice as popular as Elvis in the movie venue. |
