These People Are the Inspirations Behind Some of the Most Beautiful Songs Ever Written

“I Love Mickey” by Teresa Brewer (1956)

Apparently, Brewer was watching a Yankees game and she thought that someone needed to write a song about the athlete! It wasn’t long until she was able to release the song.
