Laurence Earl Crosby (January 3, 1895 – February 7, 1975) was the long-serving publicity director of his younger brother, Bing Crosby, a manager, a philanthropist, an inventor and an author. He was the eldest of Bing's six siblings.^[1]

Bing and Larry's mom: Katie (Catherine "Kate Crosby")... "not only baked a wonderful pie, but sang like a bird, and it was common gossip when she was out rowing on the lake, that either Katie Harrigan or an angel is out there singing." Larry Crosby ^[2]

I don't think anything has been a struggle for Bing. Everything comes easy, but he's not a detail man. Here at the office he thinks we can do everything in one day, when actually it takes weeks. He wants it right now! He's a pretty good boss, but I think he listens to too many people." Larry Crosby ^[3]
