abstract	Born June 24, 1900, died January 24, 1972. Gene was an American singer and songwriter who is considered to have been the first %22crooner%22.Austin soon gave birth to the %22crooner%22 form (a clear light tenor) of singing of the 20's and 30's, taking over from the more sentimental style of tenor vocals popularized by such singers as Henry Burr and Billy Murray.

His recording of %22My Blue Heaven%22 sold over 12 million records and until Bing Crosby's %22White Christmas%22 replaced it as the largest selling record of all time.Gene Austin was posthumously awarded a Grammy Hall of Fame Award for his 1928 recording of Bye, Bye, Blackbird, which has long been considered recorded music's definitive rendition of that song.
