Some crooners, most notably Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby or Jean Sablon, incorporated other popular styles into their music, such as Blues, Dixieland and even native Hawaiian music. Crooning became the dominant form of popular vocal music from the late 1920s to the early 1960s, coinciding with the advent of radio broadcasting and electrical recording. For example, Bing Crosby’s radio show, Kraft Music Hall (1935-1946) was heard by 50 million listeners every Thursday evening (Giddins, Gary. “A Pocketful of Dreams”)
