The Rhythm Boys were a male singing trio. They were Bing Crosby, Harry Barris and Al Rinker. Crosby and Rinker began performing together in 1925. They were recruited by Paul Whiteman in late 1926. 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. They appeared with the Whiteman orchestra in the 1930 film King of Jazz.
The group disbanded when Crosby launched his solo career in 1931. They reunited briefly to appear on the "Paul Whiteman Presents" radio broadcast on July 4, 1943.
