Did irvin Berlin give kate smith the song god bless America and Boy Scouts of receive all royalties?
No, Irving Berlin did not give Kate Smith the song "God Bless America". The song was originally written by Berlin in 1918 and was first performed by Smith on her radio show in 1938. Berlin gave Smith permission to sing the song on her show, but he retained the copyright and ownership of the song. The royalties from the song went to Berlin and his heirs.
