Happy Birthday to the greatest singer/entertainer ever! And congratulations to you, compu-smart for this Academy Award winning Birthday hub.

Happy Birthday also to James Brown, Golda Meir, Sugar Ray Robinson, Pete Seeger and Frankie Valli.

Just a little historical note, compu-smart: It was a long-standing family tradition to celebrate Bing's birthday a day early, on May 2. because his younger sister’s birthday fell on May 3 (1906.). To allow his sister, Mary Rose, to enjoy her own special day, Bing's birthday was celebrated on May 2. During the greater part of his lifetime May 2, 1904 was the day his birth was celebrated, but even his family was inconsistent about his actual date of birth. After his death in 1977 a Catholic priest in Tacoma, Wash., where he was born, disclosed that Bing's baptismal records revealed his true birthdate. Recent newspaper accounts confirm Bing's birth date as May 3, 1903.

I'm glad to see lots of great additions here compu-smart. If I'm not mistaken, my niece took dancing lessons in Darien, Connecticut, at Betty Comden's school. Jack La Rue was omnipresent in many movies of my era and Pete Seeger was a fine folk singer and a pioneer of protest songs. Walter Slezak was a great character actor who I especially liked in "Sinbad the Sailor" (1947) and "The Spanish Main" (1945.)
