Pravo ime mu je bilo Harry Lillis Crosby. Svjetsku popularnost stekao je u glazbenim filmovima "Carski valcer" i "Najveći pjevač Amerike". Oscarom je nagrađen za ulogu u filmu "Idući svojim putem" 1944. godine. Tvorac je pjevačkog stila koji su kasnije preuzeli Frank Sinatra i Dean Martin. Pjesmom "White Christmas" srušio je sve rekorde u prodaji ploča.

Crosby je također važna ličnost za muzičku industriju i zbog toga što je godine 1947. investirao u Ampex, tvrtku koja je razvila magnetofone.
