Meet the man who wrote “God Bless America”. His name was Irving Berlin, one of the greatest American songwriters of his time. His life began in a foreign country, as one of eight children of Leah and Moses Baline. He grew up and greatly impacted society from the many famous songs and plays he wrote, while most of them are still very popular today. We are talking about the man who started out in a poor town in Russia, then came to the United States and made it big. Irving Berlin was born under the name Israel Isidore Baline on May 11, 1888 in Mogilyov, Russia. He came to America with his family at age five to escape the pogroms in Russia. The family settled in New York City, where Israel and his brothers sold cheap newspapers on the street to support their fam More...

It was me telling her to hang on, hold up for me. She passed away 5/21/09. Now I sing the words to her picture. She so loved the Robert Redford movie, THE GREAT GATSBY, and watching him and Mia Farrow dance to this rendition. She always wanted to dance in a ruffled gown, with a man in a tux. I believe she and my Dad are dancing among the stars now. AMEN! My Mother had this song sung at her wedding to Daddy | Reviewer: Dena Berquist ------ About the song Always performed by Irving Berlin I love this song because it says everything that is true about the love my mother and Daddy have for each other. Mother died in January of 2008, and Daddy is terminally ill. I am caring for him, and so sad today. However, this lovely song has been going through my mind all evening. I could not get to sleep for crying about Daddy dying and decided to look up these lyrics. I will pring them out and give them to Daddy to read tomorrow when I go to the hospital. He loved mother and she him with this wonderful, faithful, enduring love. thank god for that Love. Amen This man ............a genius. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Irving Berlin Irving Berlin was the most brillant song writer ever!!!! I mean,we owe it to him for writing amazing songs like: God Bless America,and White Christmas,and for serving for our country in World War 2. God Bless His Soul Discovered | Reviewer: Marilyn ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin I discovered this song by watching the last episode of Cheers featuring Shelly Long. She and Ted Danson dance to this as an old couple as the scene fades out. I never get through watching it without tearing up. Brava to Bravogirl05 | Reviewer: Mary ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin This is the perfect song. I have listened to it sung by many famous artists--Judy Garland forgot the second line of the chorus and made up her own (a little lame), Johnny Mathis wrang every drop of pathos he could get out of the song, and Frank was backed by a full orchestra. The most perfect singer of this song, I think, is one I found on the internet: She has the appellation Bravogirl05, her name is Kristi, and she has the pure, sweet, clear voice that fits this wonderful song so perfectly. It was backed by only a simple keyboard rendition. I would give anything for her recording of "What'll I Do". Not trying to be a lyric snob! | Reviewer: Mary ------ About the song Puttin' On The Ritz performed by Irving Berlin But just so you know...those are completely not Irving Berlin's lyrics, they're the lyrics of the remake done by Taco ...I will send corrections when I have a minute to get all the right lyrics for this version What'll I Do | Reviewer: Linda ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin I can't believe I've found the words to this beautiful, haunting old song that my grandmother use to sing to me in the l940s. I've loved it forever and have always wished I knew all the lyrics. I recently got a computer and thought to look for it. I had a good cry, but I thank you for restoring a lovely memory from my childhood. My favorite | Reviewer: Anna ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin Out of all the old, wonderful songs that I perform, this has to be my favorite. I end my last set with 'What'll I Do' and it chokes me up every time. With the simple, yet meaningful lyrics and the beautiful, haunting melody . . . And I have to give Linda Ronstadt credit for introducing me to so many classics with her collaborations with Nelson Riddle when I was in my late teens. 'What'll I Do' was one of them. Bea Arthur sings what'll i do at the rusty anchor bar | Reviewer: teresa ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin on the golden girls show journey to the center of attention, blanche and dorothy go to the local bar called the rusty anchor. blanche is the center of attention with all the men in the bar and dorothy is alone at a table near the piano player and he is tickling the ivories and she starts humming and then she starts singing what'll i do. i had never ever heard that song and i cried. it is on right now. my husband left me and my children after i suffered a stroke and coma and when i heard that song it really hit home. thank you dorothy. sincerely, teresa Thanks for the memory ...... | Reviewer: Barbara ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin Thank you - I'm always trying to remember the words of "old" songs to sing to my granddaugher - she seems to love them so. "What'll I do" just came to mind last evening and although I couldn't remember all the words, when I started singing it to her she said "grandma you have to have your arms around me when you sing that song" - I had no idea of it's background til now - "out of the mouths of babes"! Thanks for making new memories for both of us. Who else should record this song | Reviewer: Margaret Offley ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin Several years ago my husband and I watched a TV program on which Bernadette Peters sang this song; it was outstanding and so impressive, that it brought tears to my eyes. It does not appear that she ever recorded it, or included it in her other recordings to the best of my knowledge. She was guest host today on Regis and Kelly, and when I saw her, it reminded me of that moment long ago. I certainly wish she would record an album of Irving Berlin titles to include "What'll I Do"? Miss Peters is surely a most talented performer. Her rendition of this song was unforgettable. alexanders ragtime band | Reviewer: nicole brown ------ About the song Alexander's Ragtime Band performed by Irving Berlin the second verse is come and listen to hte wonderful sound hear the music that is sweeping the town you soon be tapping your feet to a new kind of that keeps you happy all day long i love to that band drum druming a to the bar ragtime music is the greatest by far so come and see youll soon agree they are the best in the land come on lets give them a hand. VERSE to White Christmas | Reviewer: Gail ------ About the song White Christmas performed by Irving Berlin Where is the verse to White Christmas??? It starts: The sun is shining, the grass is green, the orange and palm trees sway. There's never been such a day, in Hollywood USA (or something like that). I need the lyrics to the verse. Thanks. Eternal Classic Promise | Reviewer: Tripolina ------ About the song Always performed by Irving Berlin "Always" is a perfect promise for newlyweds. I'm surprised it hasn't become a standard classic to be played at weddings. Romantic and heartfelt. A real heartbreaker. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin I am now listening to this song sung by Johnny Mathis for about the 15th time. I haven't heard it for over 50 years. Could never find it again. My daughter just gifted this to me on I Tunes. Many years ago I played this very same version over and over again for an old boyfriend. Now that I know the sad background for this most beautiful of songs, I'm in tears all over again. . Johnny Mathis's voice is just mesmerizing. Sadly they don't make them like this anymore. Actually, it was much earlier | Reviewer: R. Reublin ------ About the song Blue Skies performed by Irving Berlin Just a point of history. Though the song may have appeared in White Christmas, it actually was first published in 1926 and was one of the songs that appeared in the first full length "talkie," "The Jazz Singer" with Al Jolson in 1927. It later appeared in other films in 1935, '39 and of course in '46, as the title song for the movie "Blue Skies" starring Bing Crosby. It definitely is one of our all time classic songs, still as fresh today as 80 years ago. story behind the song | Reviewer: B ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin Irving Berlin wrote this for his mother when she died. The preamble was added to make it more of a "romance" song, but the sentiment was about losing his mother. Riddles review | Reviewer: Richard Reifenheiser ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin I've heard a few versions of this great tune but being a Sinatra fan i just love the emotional and classic voice of Frank doing this. :D | Reviewer: Eliac ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin I love this song so much! I'm singing and recording it as soon as I can get my stuff to work. Classic tune | Reviewer: john dillon ------ About the song What'll I Do performed by Irving Berlin There is a wonderful version of this tune sung by Mary Steenburgen of all people in the Movie 'The Butcher's Wife' with Jeff Daniels and Demi Moore. Mary plays a frustrated saloon singer who finally follows her dream to sing in a saloon and does a lovely job on this melancholy classic. I'm learning it on guitar tonight, what a haunting old tune.
