Welke song wordt hier omschreven?
It was a peaceful song that became a wartime classic. Its unorthodox, melancholy melody—
and mere 54 words, expressing the simple yearning for a return to happier times—
sounded instantly familiar when sung by America's favorite crooner.
But 67 years after its introduction, some still are surprised to learn that Bing Crosby's
recording of the Irving Berlin ballad became not only the runaway smash-hit
for the World War II holidays, but the best-selling record of all time.
