Irving Berlin - White Christmas
Not only is it the best song I ever wrote, it's the best song anybody ever wrote.
- Irving Berlin
A regular feature for Christmas television is the 1954 film "White Christmas". But the title song was a lot older than that, originally appearing in the 1942 film "Holiday Inn" - for which it won the Academy Award for best original song. While a ton of artists have recorded this song, Bing's versions make up roughly half of the 100 million copies sold. Irving Berlin knew he had a hit with this one.
Every Christmas season growing up, my mother would pull our her Bing Crosby Christmas record and play it. It was the only time of year it came out. I have very happy memories of this song (and that entire record and The Andrews Sisters).
