IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME

On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered, ending World War Two The song "It's Been A Long, Long Time" by the Harry James Orchestra with singer Kitty Kallen reflected the feelings of relief that there would be no more killing, that men and women would be returning from overseas, and families could be reunited It became one of the biggest hits from immediately after the war in 1945 and 1946.
