This incredibly popular standard with music and lyrics by the great Irving Berlin was introduced in the 1933 Broadway revue As Thousands Cheer. The tune had been in Berlin's trunk since 1917 with different lyrics "Smile and Show Your Dimple".
As Easter Parade it was an overnight hit further immortalised by Fred Astaire and Judy Garland in the 1948 MGM musical of the same name.
