On
this day in 1888, Israel Baline was born in
Tyumen,
Russia.
He immigrated with his family to
America as
a child and grew up in a poor neighborhood in
New York City.
For a time, Israel made his living as a singing waiter, but he found his true
calling in 1907 when he began writing songs. His first hit was Alexander’s
Ragtime Band, but his two greatest classics were God Bless America
and White Christmas. Along the way, Israel changed his name to Irving
Berlin. The man who wrote There’s No Business Like Show Business once
observed that “Life is 10% how you make it and 90% how you take it.”
Bravo, and God bless Irving Berlin.
