| "Bless This House" was sung every Friday night at 6:15 on WOR Radio in New York in the 50s and 60s at the conclusion of Lyle Van's newscast "News On the Human Side." The recording was an ornate rendition by the opera singer and actress Gladys Swarthout. As the recording ended, Lyle Van would say,"Ah, the beautiful, soothing Bless This House." Then he would thank Gladys Swarthout and give his usual sign-off "Good night, little redheads ... everyone!" |
