Kate Smith.....wonderful! jer
I have only forwarded this to my friends who may have had the pleasure of hearing Ms. Smith over their lifetime. Keep the Faith / and "God Bless America " This is so beautiful, can you remember the last time you heard God Bless America sung at any of programs for Memorial Day, Veterens Day, Independence Day, Christmas etc? What is happening to this country???? SOME OF YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS FIRSTHAND AND OTHERS, THIS MAY BE YOUR FIRST TIME HEARING KATE SMITH SING THIS MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG. I PERSONALLY CRINGE WHEN I HEAR OTHER PEOPLES ATTEMPTS. PLEASE READ THE CONTENT AND THEN LISTEN. ENJOY *A REAL STAR * In early *1940 *, Kate Smith, a fiercely patriotic American, and the biggest star on radio, was deeply worried about her country. She asked Irving Berlin if he could give her a song that would reignite the spirit of American patriotism and faith. He said he had a song that he had written in 1917, but never used it. He said she could have it. She sat at the piano & played it and realized how good it was. She called Mr. Berlin and told him that she couldn't take this from him for nothing. So, they agreed that any money that would be made off the song would be donated to the Boy Scouts of America. Thanks to Kate Smith and Irving Berlin, the Scouts have received millions of dollars in royalties. This clip is from the movie "You're in the Army Now". You will see a familiar face in this—one that we are all very proud of. Frank Sinatra said that when Kate Smith, whom he considered the greatest singer of his age, first sang this song on the radio, a million guys got 'dust' in their eyes and had to wipe the tears the 'dust' caused. If you can watch and listen without 'dust' getting in your eyes, you have no soul. Sit back and enjoy a Real Star. *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnQDW-NMaRs*<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnQDW-NMaRs> LAST BEST HOPE. *Permission is granted to share.* However, please remove my name before forwarding.
