The Yearly GELT's TOP 1931



Jean Harlow in Blonde Platinum (1931)
Artist of the year :  Bing Crosby
His program on CBS lasts only a quarter of an hour every other week but, each time, it fills up with listeners. Bing Crosby has just signed, besides, with Brunswick for a series of recordings which will become all hits from their release. With him begins a new era in popular music which will result by giving prominence to singers.

Bing Crosby also takes advantage of the last technological innovations in sound recording to set a new style, thus foreshadowing the crooner generation that will snap up the music market until the 60s. Vocalist but also actor, he plays regularly in short musicals directed by Mack Sennett in which he highlights the extent of his talents, matching with achievement the range of emotion with that of comedy.
