“Let’s Start the New Year Right” was written by Irving Berlin and first recorded in 1942. It was recorded for the musical Holiday Inn, which starred the two musical greats Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. This song reflects the feeling of the last minutes of the old year heading into the new year. This time can be full of reminisces of the old year and resolutions to start the New Year on the right foot. Although the song was released in the movie itself, it was not until 1979 that the complete soundtrack for Holiday Inn was released.
