History of the song Happy Birthday

The song "Happy Birthday to You" is believed to have been written by two American sisters, Mildred J. Hill and Patty Smith Hill, in the late 1800s. 

The song was first published in a songbook in 1893 under the title "Good Morning to All," with the lyrics "Happy Birthday to You" appearing in print for the first time in 1924. 

Over the years, the song has become a widely recognized and popular tune, and it is now considered to be a traditional part of birthday celebrations around the world.
