Where was the songwriter who wrote the songs for the album "Song Hits from Holiday Inn" born?
Song Hits from Holiday Inn Song Hits from Holiday Inn is a studio album of phonograph records by Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire released in July 1942 featuring songs presented in the American musical film "Holiday Inn". These are the longer studio recorded versions of the songs presented in the film. For the songs that were actually in the film, see Holiday Inn (soundtrack). This album is not only notable because it is one of the greatest works of the highly regarded songwriter Irving Berlin, but it is only Crosby's third studio album. This was also the first release of Crosby's signature song "White Christmas" on shellac disc record. The 1942 version would only be released only one more time, in "Merry Christmas" in 1945 before the song was re-recorded (because the original master recording wore out) and the later version became the standard.
