Every Christmas morning for 44 years I have played Nat King Cole singing "I'm the Happiest Christmas Tree" for my daughter. All through those years she has lived in different places due to her husband being sent to multiple Army basis, including South Korea. This tradition lives on through her children. It is the very first thing I do on Christmas morning. I call her and instead of saying Merry Christmas I will say "are you ready" and she will say yes and gathers the rest of her family to the phone. We all listen and dance around to Nat King Cole. Such joy!!

@@2dashville , that was a fun movie, costarring Barbara Eden & Tony Randall! Came out in 1964, and I watched it as a kid. Then, I "fell in love" with Barbara Eden on "I Dream of Jeannie"! Lol! Burl Ives was truly an under-appreciated actor and singer -- one of the greats in my opinion. I loved his songs, especially his funny ones (like "Ugly Bug Ball" in the 1963 film Summer Magic) and his gospel songs. In my opinion, his two best movies were the western drama "The Big Country" (1958, costarring Gregory Peck & Chuck Connors) and the naval comedy "Ensign Pulver" (1964, same year as "The Brass Bottle" & costarring Robert Walker, Jr. as Pulver). Have a great day!

Bing Crosby's White Christmas, was the number one selling recording ever, over 50 million copies, with the song itself selling more than 100 million by various artists. Darleen Love's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). She performed it on David Letterman's show every Christmas and it is GREAT. Any of the Christmas songs by Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Andy Williams, the Carpenter's. Many of us grew up watching all their Christmas specials every year with songs by them and others who joined them for the show including many of their families. Always looked forward to those shows.

You took the words out of my mouth. Bing's "White Christmas" is a must-listen for this month. I would also do "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band-Aid. (Band-Aid was an 80s collaboration of many, many famous singers, much like "We Are the World" by USA For Africa. Some of the singers involved in that song include Paul McCartney, Bono (of U2), Phil Collins, Boy George, Duran Duran, Sting (of The Police), Paul Young, David Bowie, and George Michael.)

Definitely Earth Kitt's "Santa Baby" (1953), the original version and still the best, even though it's a song that has been covered a lot in recent years. In a similar vein, though far less known, is "Five Pound Box of Money" (1959), sung by the great Pearl Bailey.

There is a crooner you haven't reacted to yet. His name is Bing Crosby and he was probably the very first famous crooner, because he started in show business way back in 1922. He remained a megastar for more than 50 years. Like most other crooners, he was a prolific, famous actor as well as an amazing singer. He starred in several Christmas movies and was literally one of the most beloved entertainers in the 20th Century. "White Christmas" is one of his most famous Christmas songs but he had albums full of them. "O Holy Night", "Winter Wonderland", "Little Drummer Boy", "I'll Be Home For Christmas", just to name a few. Christmas music is never quite complete without Bing Crosby's beautiful voice.

Yes, Tormé wrote it in summer in southern California. It was said he wrote the tune in less than an hour. As one of those interesting pieces of trivia, Tormé's Christmas Song is one of the most popular Christmas tunes ever written, and Mel Tormé was Jewish. You should check out some of Tormé's vocal work--he was one of the best male jazz vocalists and had a long and successful career.

All of my memories of Christmases as a child involve hearing Nat King Cole and Mr. Christmas himself, Andy Williams playing on the turntable. The Andy Williams Christmas Special was a staple on TV for many years. He also recorded eight Christmas albums. I guess that's how you get the nickname Mr. Christmas. I recommend "Happy Holiday/The Holiday Season" and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year."

This was written by Mel Torme, who it just so happens was a master jazz and scat singer, he’s well worth a listen, don’t ask I don’t have an offering. This too is in my karaoke catalog, along with unforgettable.

He wrote it in the middle of a summer heat wave thinking that concentrating on Christmas might make him feel cooler.

Mel Torme's heyday was the late 1940s and '50s, though he enjoyed a huge resurgence in the '70s through the '90s when vocal jazz music itself was enjoying a resurgence. His songs "Careless Hands" and "Again", both from 1949, were his two biggest hits.

I heard Mel wrote this song in an L.A. dive bar on a hot July afternoon while enjoying a few Martinis. 🍸😃

His "oh holy night" is especially amazing. So is Josh Groban's version.

Nothing feels more like Christmas than the classics. They really evoke that feeling of nostalgia.

When I was a kid, this song along with other Nat King Cole songs would be playing in the "victrola"--that's record player you all-- all the time, but especially at Christmas time. This is the best version of this song, and yes, every time I hear this man's voice, it makes me smile. Again, and again. What effortless singing--- and once again--showing how music can touch us in ways unfathomable. God bless his voice and his memory.

This song was written by the great Mel Torme. Known as the velvet fog due to his smooth voice. Nat King Cole was the first artist I ever heard do this song, and IMHO, the one who does it best of all. It's been covered by zillions of other artists over the years but never equal to this.

Another classic song I grew up listen to is Any Williams "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". Here's the link to him performing the song. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZmFpKeJxNfZm2Q.html and Johnny Mathis "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcd-qqicqMu-onk.html

I am in tears right now....happy tears! This is is kind of Christmas music we listened at our home in the 60s & 70s. I can remember sitting around tv watching the greats like Nat King Cole. There were so many wonderful Christmas specials back then. My parents are both gone now. But, I feel them with me when I hear great Christmas songs. Thank you so much!!!!

There are some Christmas songs that seem to be written and sung for certain singers. This is one of them. When the stress and pressures of Christmas start to get you down. Play this song with a relaxing tea, hot cocoa, Cuddle up to each other near a fireplace with a small lingering fire. Have your kids near you, make it a family time. Love this song by Mr. Nat King Cole. I loved your reaction it warmed my lonely heart for a little bit. Thanks.

My absolutely favorite Christmas song! Even now that it is summer in Texas when we get a rainy cloudy day I will play this just to feel the warm of his voice. Merry Christmas in July everyone!

This is a great version of this song, Nat King Cole had such a warm voice. But my all time favorite voice for Christmas music is Johnny Mathis, who's style was obviously influenced by Nat. When I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, the Christmas season didn't begin until we put on Johnny Mathis' first Christmas album (he made several, but the first one was the best) - you can tell which one it is because he's on the cover holding skis and smiling at the camera. If there's a more perfect voice for Christmas music I haven't heard it. If you'll be searching for Christmas songs all month I'd recommend giving Johnny Mathis a listen.

I was going to say Johnny Mathis also, you beat me to it. My very favorite Mathis tune though is “It Doesn’t Have to Hurt Everytime” I had that played at my wedding for the bride and groom dance. While Nat is my favorite Johnny’s voice is also distinctively exquisite

@ParkerAllen2 2 жыл бұрын

@@janepiper-lunt7655 Great choice. With that light, soaring quality he has, Johnny's voice would be perfect at a wedding ceremony. I might like Johnny's voice a little more than Nat's but it would be very close. Everyone has their personal preferences but when two singers are at the level I'm not sure there really is a best - they're just both great at what they do.

Great reaction, as always! I never really feel the Christmas spirit completely until I hear Nat King Cole sing this song. Another beautiful Christmas song is "Mary's Boy Child" sung by the great singer, actor and activist, Harry Belafonte. Anne Murray, a Canadian singer does wonderful Christmas songs, try "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and her duet "Baby It's Cold Outside" with Michael Buble. Looking forward to your daily Christmas reactions!

The man had a voice of silk, for a time he brought Americans together, holding us all in the palm of his hand. His voice just exudes the thought everything’s going to be okay.
