The date of birth on Crosby's gravestone (1904) is incorrect. A 1903 newspaper birth announcement and his 1903 baptismal certificate confirm that he was born in 1903. The year 1904 had been created by Bing's brother Everett, who was his manager, and who thought that reducing age in Hollywood meant a lot.
