Irish-American Musicians
Kate Smith
One of the most popular singers of her time, Kate Smith recorded the seminal version of Irving Berlin's "God Bless American." Her version went on to become a lucky talisman of sorts for the Philadelphia Flyers, which has a much better record when the song was played before home games. She had plenty of other hits, including "The White Cliffs of Dover," "The Woodpecker Song," and "River, Stay 'Way From My Door," and she also recorded popular versions of Irish classics like "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "An Irish Lullaby."
