Bob Crosby

Bob Crosby was a popular American bandleader and singer best known for leading Bob Crosby and the Bob-Cats, a Dixieland jazz group that gained widespread acclaim during the swing era. Born in 1913, he was the younger brother of legendary crooner Bing Crosby. While Bob didn’t enjoy the same level of fame as his older sibling, he carved out a distinct niche in the music world during the 1930s and '40s, thanks to his warm vocals and the spirited sound of his band.

Bob Crosby and His Orchestra blended the structured swing style with the improvisational feel of Dixieland, offering a unique flavor that appealed to a wide audience. His band featured top-notch musicians and became known for energetic hits like “March of the Bobcats” and “South Rampart Street Parade.” Beyond the bandstand, Crosby also had a presence on radio and television, further cementing his legacy as one of the era’s beloved big band leaders.
