Pleasant voice, but was he groundbreaking? I don't deny he was very popular. He was.

Bing made no secret of the fact that he only entertained to fund his real passion; golf. He died on the grass, walking to a Madrid clubhouse after completing 18 holes... against doctors advice.

Ya know who was groundbreaking...and he wasn't a musician? Leo Fender. And it's a Hawaiian (Freddie Tavares) who can be credited for the solid body Strat and P Bass.... Freddie played with Bing, and he played the intro to every Looneytoon cartoon you've seen. !
