Did Alabama Steal ‘Christmas in Dixie’ From Australian Soap Opera? — You Be The Judge [VIDEO]
'Christmas in Dixie' is one of the most recognized holiday songs of all time, but did Alabama's Randy Owen, Jeff Cook, and Teddy Gentry really write the song which they released in 1982?
A songwriter in Australia named Allan Caswell is claiming that he originally wrote the melody in 1980 which was used as a theme for an Australian TV Soap Opera - 'The Prisoner'.
