FFF of course

Alright so get this. I just found out last week that the month of March is also known as Women's History Month! So in honor of the ladies I would like to talk about Mildred and Patty Hill.

Both were teachers who combimed there musical talents to come up with a song for kids to sing. It was titled "Good Morning to All"

They published a songbook back in 1893 that included this song. Years later a man by the name of Robert Coleman published the song again without the sisters permission, he even added an extra verse to the song!! (I'm going somewhere with this)

Mr Coleman's verse became so popular that people stopped singing the first verse and just sang the second which began "Happy Birthday to You"

So in 1916 the sisters sued for copyrights on the song... and won. Therefore owning legal right to the song. The family to this day actually is entitled to royalties whenever it's played in a movie TV show or commercial. Isn't that wild?!
