This section was inspired by a link I received
from Tom Spicer (HQ Battery, Survey section 1966-1967). It is about
the first
public singing of God Bless America by Kate Smith. This seemed like
a perfect choice for our first entry. I hope to be adding much more
related material to this section. |

As a side note, you may or not
know of Kate Smith's connection to the NHL hockey team the Flyers.
Back in the 70's when they won their only 2 Stanley Cups they
started to have Kate Smith appear at some big games to sing God
Bless America. The Flyers had a phenomenal won-lost record whenever
she was there. This started a tradition that lasts to this day. They
now use a video of her rendition for big occasions. Hasn't helped
them win another Cup but overall her record is still a good one. |
