SYNOPSIS:

In 1843, the Hill sisters, Patty and Mildred, put together the Good Morning To You song for kindergarteners to easily sing. In 1935, the Good Morning melody was paired with the Happy Birthday To You lyrics. This was copyrighted. But by 2015, the Happy Birthday song was in the public domain.

In 1962, Marilyn Monroe sang the Happy Birthday song to JFK for his birthday / fund raising celebration. This moment became unforgettable because of the naked-looking dress she wore. Marilyn’s cost was $1,440. In 2016, this dress sold for almost five million dollars.

In 2022, Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn’s dress, loaned to her by the owner, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. Kim suffered from the claims that she ruined the historic dress. Ripley denied this saying that over the years the dress had some decay.1

SONG: HAPPY BIRTHDAY
