In remembrance of the passing of one of my all time favorite singers, Harry Lillis Bing Crosby, Jr. Bing Crosby passed on this day in 1977. Per Golf Digest in 2001, Shortly after 6 pm on October 14, Crosby collapsed and died of a massive ...heart attack on the green after a round of 18 holes of golf near Madrid where he and a golfing partner had just defeated two Spanish pros. It is widely written that his last words were That was a great game of golf, fellas. Per Giddons (2001) Yank magazine recognized Crosby as the person who had done the most for American G.I. morale during World War II and, during his peak years, around 1948, polls declared him the most admired man alive, ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII. You are not forgotten, Bing!
