The Rhythm Boys

The Rhythm Boys

The Rhythm Boys were a male singing trio consisting of Bing Crosby, Harry Barris and Al Rinker. Crosby and Rinker began performing together in 1925 and were recruited by Paul Whiteman in late 1926. Pianist/singer/songwriter Barris joined the team in 1927. They made a number of recordings with the Whiteman Orchestra and released singles in their own right with Barris on piano, and appeared with the Whiteman orchestra in the film "King of Jazz" (Universal Pictures, 1930), in which they sang "Mississippi Mud", "So the Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together", "I'm a Fisherman", "Bench in the Park", and "Happy Feet".

The group disbanded when Crosby launched his phenomenal solo career in 1931. They reunited briefly to appear on the "Paul Whiteman Presents" radio show broadcast on July 4, 1943.

Trivia

Harry Barris was the uncle of television personality and producer Chuck Barris.
