Irving Berlin, born Israel Beilin, on May 11, 1888 in Russia. His family immigrated to New York in 1893. After his father died when Berlin was 13, he worked odd jobs, including singing for money. He wrote scores for Broadway musicals and wrote many popular songs. Dianne Shapiro, from irvingberlin.com, accessed 4/2/2022 Go to person page >
