Wishing on a Star
Prompt: How about a little trivia fun--
What song was number one the year you were born or what book was number one on the New York bestsellers list the year you were born?
Are you familiar with the song or the book? Would you recommend either to us?
Well 1944 was a war year and I’m sure people were looking for happy songs or wishful songs.
“Swinging On a Star” was popular in 1944 and was sung by the legendary Bing Crosby. What a wonderful voice he had. I think it was featured in the movie of the year “Going my Way.”
I always thought Bing wasn’t terribly good looking but his costar Ginger Rogers was beautiful and an amazing dancer. Bing always used to get more accolades than Ginger but as it’s been often said “she did everything that Bing did, only in high heels and backwards!”
