Hello,
I wasn't aware of the history until fellow from Sweden had added a comment.

I never knew the history of this song but I suspected that it did not start with Willie Winfield. Thanks, Mike, and also to the person who offered the early history as a Swedish song.

The song " Min Soldat" ( "My Soldier" in english) was written by Nils Perne (sometimes he used his nickname Jokern) 1940 and it was recorded by Ulla Billquist in 8 of May the same year. Ulla billquist was the most popular female record artist in Sweden during the 40's. Sadly she became Suicide the 6 of July 1946. Carroll Loveday wrote the english lyrics and the title became "The Shrine of St. Cecilia". Andrew Sisters recorded their version 1941.
