In a poll taken from soldiers during World War II, Bing Crosby was selected as the most important personality for boosting troop morale.

Apparently, just the sound of his voice was enough for the soldiers to feel that things were going to be all right. At this point of his career, Crosby seemed to be ubiquitous, especially since his radio shows were now taped, allowing them to be distributed far and wide, while freeing him for film and other obligations…like golf, for instance.
