After a short stint as a drummer in a band of high schoolers, Bing formed a vocal duo with Al Rinker. Al's sister, Mildred Bailey was a popular jazz singer, and introduced Bing to band-leader Paul Whiteman. The latter hired Bing to sing in his group; and the rest is history.

Bing always credited Bailey for allowing him to get his start in show business.
