TOPIC OF THE DAY

Mildred J. Hill

Mildred J. Hill (June 27, 1859 - June 5, 1916) was an American songwriter, who composed one of the best-known songs in the world -- "Good Morning to All," better known as "Happy Birthday to You".

The song "Happy Birthday" was written by American sisters Patty and Mildred Hill in 1893 when they were school teachers in Louisville, Kentucky. The verse was originally intended as a classroom greeting entitled "Good Morning To All". The lyrics were copyrighted in 1935, 11 years before Patty's death, and the ownership has swapped hands in multi-million dollar deals ever since. The copyright is currently owned by Warner Communications who bought the rights for $28 million in 1985 and is scheduled to expire in 2021
