The Queen enjoys watching Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley on CBS. They ran a segment this morning on songwriter Irving Berlin. This young Jewish lad from NYC grew up to be the most prolific song writer in American history.
Do yourself a favor sometime. Go through the list of all the songs he wrote, all 1500 of them. He gave us music when real music existed.
As a teaser, while serving in the U.S. Army he wrote the song, "God Bless America". In 1938 he gave Kate Smith the rights to sing the song. There is a sad after story about Kate Smith but that's another story.
