Classic Song for a Classic Crooner



On this very date in nineteen forty two

Bing Crosby went into a Decca studio

And, with backing vocals and a band

Would record White Christmas, grand



The song - penned by Irving Berlin ....

Was immortalized by this pairing ...

For the recording became an instant classic

A musical event done in a way quite magic ...
