History of the "Happy Birthday Song"

Do you know that the song “ Happy Birthday” is under copyright? Did you have any idea that originally this song was done to wish good morning in classes?
It might make you astonished, but there are many interesting facts behind this timeless universal birthday song without which any birthday celebration is incomplete.

The origin of Happy Birthday song dates back to the early 1890's when two American sisters, Mildred Hill and Patti Hill composed the song. While Mildred is believed to have made the tune Patti put the lyrics “Good morning dear teacher, good morning to you”. It was meant for classroom greeting song as both the sisters were related to the field of education. While Patty was a schoolteacher developing the "Patty Hill blocks" and was a faculty member at Columbia University Teachers College, Mildred was also an educator who later on became a composer, pianist and organist. The song "Good Morning to All"can be found in the book Song Stories for the Kindergarten which was written by the sisters and published in 1893.

It is still unclear who changed the lyrics to “Happy Birthday to you” and for what reason, but it was first published in early 1920's

Look for an affiliate marketing network that has
great commission schemes and recurring income opportunities.
The second thing that can be done is signing up for a survey taking
website. Some online auctions allow sellers to list products for
free.
