After watching the Sunday morning show today 7/6/08 - I also wanted to know if there was a relationship to Bing..... I Googled it and found there is no relation to Bing Crosby.
Following is a blurb...
I would also wonder. I am to related to fanny Crosby and have many times been told that I am related to Bing. I know for sure that Crosby family that spells their name Crosbie is the same as Crosby...
Bing Crosby had many hit songs but one of which was the song "Only Forever". If you are looking for how many hit songs he had during the 1940's I really have no clue but I would look around.
Bing was baptized a Roman Catholic, and maintained a devout standing within that church his entire life. Whether that makes him a "Christian" I'll leave up to someone else.
