In the extraordinary six decades that followed, Berlin wrote one popular hit after another: \"Blue Skies,\" \"Always,\" \"Cheek to Cheek,\" \"White Christmas,\" \"God Bless America,\" \"There's No Business Like Show Business,\" and many, many more. He also wrote a number of the classics of musical theater's Golden Age, climaxing with \u003ci\u003eAnnie Get Your Gun\u003c\/i\u003e. He penned three Astaire and Rogers films--\u003ci\u003eTop Hat\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCarefree\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFollow the Fleet\u003c\/i\u003e--as well as the scores of \u003ci\u003eHoliday Inn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEaster Parade\u003c\/i\u003e, and other movies.
