Irving Berlin wrote â??White Christmasâ? in the early 1940s, reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. Bing Crosby made this song famous, and his single has been credited with selling 50 million copies, the most by any release. Even the Guinness Book of World Records lists Crosbyâ??s song as a 100-million seller, encompassing all versions of the song, including albums. The song was even made into a movie, under the same name, starring Bing Crosby together with Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen.
Accounts vary as to when and where Berlin wrote the song. One story is that he wrote it on the poolside at the Biltmore hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. He often stayed up all night writing â?? he told his secretary, â??Grab your pen and take down this song. I just wrote the best song Iâ??ve ever written â?? heck, I just wrote the best song that anybodyâ??s ever written!â?
Whatever the origins may be, â??White Christmasâ? is a long-time cherished Christmas favorite.
