In which decade was the song 'White Christmas' written?

Contradictory. How is it a 1942 Irving Berlin song first sung by Bing Crosby on Chritmas day in 1941? 😬

Destino Manifesto, Published in 1942, but first performed at the end of 1941. Pearl Harbor was two and SF weeks after Pearl Harbor. Berlin wrote it, Crosby sang it, then it was recorded and published a few weeks later in 1942. There was likely no way to copyright the song until after the holidays (except a performance on the radio, I guess.)

Blue Bayou 2, was wondering that myself.

Destino Manifesto, my question exactly?!

I heard that this song was written in Palm Springs

This question would be a good "reading comprehension" test. Had to read it again to qualify the dates.

BeneficentMaster7222, yes!! how in the hell did you miss that??
