Patty Hill

Patty Hill was an American educator and songwriter, celebrated for her role in composing the melody for 'Good Morning to You' alongside her sister Mildred Hill. Initially created in 1893 for use in kindergarten classrooms, the tune later became famous as the basis for 'Happy Birthday to You.' Despite their significant contribution to this globally recognized song, Patty and Mildred faced a complicated legacy involving copyright disputes that questioned the origins of the birthday lyrics, which have never been conclusively attributed to either sister.
