Bearclaws72:

Bing Crosby was born Harry Lillis Crosby, Jr. in Tacoma, Washington, the fourth of seven children of Catherine Helen "Kate" (Harrigan) and Harry Lowe Crosby, a brewery bookkeeper. He was of English and Irish descent. Crosby studied law at Gonzaga University in Spokane but was more interested in playing the drums and singing with a local band. Bing and the band's piano player, Al Rinker, left Spokane for Los Angeles in 1925. In the early 1930s Bing's brother Everett sent a record of Bing singing "I Surrender, Dear" to the president of CBS. His live performances from New York were carried over the national radio network for 20 consecutive weeks in 1932. His radio success led Paramount Pictures to include him in The Big Broadcast (1932), a film featuring radio favorites. His songs about not needing a bundle of money to make life happy was the right message for the decade of the Great Depression. His relaxed, low-key style carried over into the series of "Road" comedies he made with pal Bob Hope. He won the best actor Oscar for playing an easygoing priest in Going My Way (1944). He showed that he was indeed an actor as well as a performer when he played an alcoholic actor down on his luck opposite Grace Kelly in The Country Girl (1954). Playing golf was what he liked to do best. He died at age 74 playing golf at a course outside Madrid, Spain, after completing a tour of England that had included a sold-out engagement at the London Palladium.

22west:

DanielleLove:

I have someone in mind

22west:

WHO

22west:

this was due 4 days ago

Jebediah:

HENRY FORD CHANGED US HISTORY BY INVENTING THE CAR!!

DanielleLove:

Susan B. Anthony womens voting rights

DanielleLove:

in 1920

DanielleLove:

or just for laughs you could talk about the creator of sunscreen who actually created it for bald people's head to not get sunburn

22west:

he didn't invent it someone already did in germany

DanielleLove:

it was created in 1938

22west:

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING

DanielleLove:

opps sorry nvm he was austrian not american :/

22west:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DanielleLove:

hold on I'll come up with something I love history after all

22west:

I DONT

DanielleLove:

ok another idea how about the traffic lights I mean they are clearly important for preventing people from killing each other xD

22west:

lol

DanielleLove:

and its easy to explain why it is important

22west:

who invented them

22west:

nvm

DanielleLove:

or cheeseburgers too but that one is controversial though I know it was during the roaring 20s

22west:

i cant do it

22west:

i cant do the street lights

DanielleLove:

why?

22west:

they were invented in 1868

Jebediah:

Do the color tv

Jebediah:

or a tv in general

Jebediah:

first tv invented was 1929 I believe

DanielleLove:

instant coffee

Jebediah:

Tv's change a lot of people's lives because now they could get news and entertained in one spot

Jebediah:

And news was just newspapers at this point :P

Jebediah:

So this was a huge step up

22west:

maybe

DanielleLove:

electric guitars

22west:

no

DanielleLove:

in all honesty though the women voting rights that I mentioned earlier might be the one to get you an A because Susan did change history dramatically by having half of the population get included into voting who should lead the country

22west:

how about the production line?

DanielleLove:

airplanes too

22west:

nah

22west:

the henry ford production line

Jebediah:

Ok :D

22west:

thx for the help

DanielleLove:

np

22west:

have a great night

DanielleLove:

you too good luck
