American industrialist and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller becomes the world's first billionaire. The Rockefeller name will pass into popular culture as an icon of fabulous wealth and will provide inspiration for countless songwriters. One early example is I Will Turn Your Money Green [1928] by bluesman Furry Lewis, and Puttin' On The Ritz by Irving Berlin followed a year later. More recent songs including Rockefeller Square [1971] by Jimmy Buffett [1971], Mr. Rockefeller by Bette Midler [1976] and I'm No Rockefeller [2003] by Modern Talking have continued to build on the Rockefeller legend.
