Seventy - Sixth Trivia Question

Question

This Christmas song was written in October 1962

with lyrics by Noel Regney and music by Gloria Shayne Baker.

They wrote it as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Regney was inspired to write the lyrics "Said the night wind to the little lamb,

'Do you see what I see?' “and "Pray for peace, people everywhere,"

after watching babies being pushed in strollers on the sidewalks of New York City.

Baker stated in an interview years later that neither

could personally perform the entire song at the time they wrote it

because of the emotions surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis.

"Our little song broke us up. You must realize there was

a threat of nuclear war at the time."
