By the 1940s, Lombardo's name had become synonymous with his hit song "[[Auld Lang Syne]]", which was annually piped from the Roosevelt ballroom out to [[Times Square]], to the delight of revelers at that iconic New Year's party. In 1943, Lombardo was selected to pull the lever at the first "ball drop" at [[One Times Square]], which quickly became an annual event.
