Happy birthday, dear special one.

Happy birthday to you!

Kentucky kindergarten and Sunday school teacher Mildred J. Hill composed this familiar ditty in the late 19^th century. Originally, she tagged the tune as “Good Morning to All.”

Her younger sister Patty, who also taught kindergarten, helped with the “Happy Birthday” lyrics. The two sisters were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (posthumously) in 1996 for their accomplishment.
