TODAY'S QUIZ...
Kim Gannon and Walter Kent were a song writing team, who had received many awards for their music during the 1940's. During the horror of World War II, they decided to try to corner the wartime 'hankie' market and come up with a real 'tear-jerker' song for the troops and their loved ones back home. When they managed to get popular crooner Bing Crosby to sing their song, they nailed the market down. Their song stayed pinned to the top of the music charts for 7 weeks. In December 1965, astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell hurtled back to earth aboard their Gemini 7 spacecraft. Asked by NASA communication personnel if they wanted any particular music piped up to them, the crew requested Bing Crosby's recording of this Christmas classic.
NAME THIS CHRISTMAS CAROL...
