"Pennies from Heaven" is a 1936 American popular song with music by Arthur Johnston and lyrics by Johnny Burke. It was introduced by Bing Crosby with Georgie Stoll and his Orchestra in the 1936 film of the same name.[5][6]
Pennies from Heaven is not full of out-and-out song classics, but its score by Johnny Burke and Arthur Johnston is enjoyable and features ... the title song, which was nominated for an Oscar but lost to Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields's 'The Way You Look Tonight', from Swing Time.
