The story of how the song "Happy Birthday to You" came to be, began as a sweet one, that later soured.Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr.Patty Hill, the headmaster of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, called "Good Morning to All." When Mildred combined her musical talents, as the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist(风琴师)for her church, with her sister's expertise in the area of Kindergarten Education, "Good Morning to All" was sure to be a success.
The sisters published the song in a collection entitled "Song Stories of the Kind ergarten" in 1893.Thirty-one years later, after Dr.Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H.Coleman published the song, without the sisters' permission.What is worse, he added a second verse(歌词), the familiar "Happy Birthday to You."
Mr.Coleman's addition of the second verse made the song become well known and, gradually, the sisters' original first verse disappeared."Happy Birthday to You," the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters' original title, "Good Morning to All."
After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, discussed the issue together and took Mr.Coleman to court.In court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody(曲调).The court finally decided that the family legally owns the song, whenever it is sung for commercial purposes.
