The Essentials 1931








Artist of the year :  Bing Crosby


His program on CBS lasts only a quarter of an hour every other week but it is, at all times, full of listeners. Bing Crosby has just signed, besides, with Brunswick for a series of recordings which will become all hits from their release. With him begins a new era for popular music which will result by giving prominence to the singer.

Bing Crosby also takes advantage of the last technological innovations in sound recording to set a new style, thus foreshadowing the crooner generation which will snap up the music market until the 60s. Vocalist but also actor, he plays regularly in short musicals directed by Mack Sennett in which he highlights the extent of his talents, matching with achievement the range of emotion with that of comedy.


Bing Crosby performs "Just One More Chance" in a short movie directed by Mack Sennett, starring Marion Sayers
