The original composers of the Christmas song "Silver Bells" are Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. The song was written for the 1951 movie "The Lemon Drop Kid," where it was first performed by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell. Interestingly, the song initially started out with the title "Tinkle Bells" before changing to "Silver Bells." The first recorded version was by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards in 1950, released by Decca Records. The inspiration for the song came from the bells used by sidewalk Santas and Salvation Army solicitors in New York City, as well as a bell on a desk shared by the songwriters. Jay Livingston composed the music, and Ray Evans wrote the lyrics. This song is one of their best-known works and a classic in the Christmas music repertoire
