On Christmas Eve, we have a fresh transfer of Clarence Williams' recording of a Christmas tune written by Mitchell Parish and Raymond Scott and featuring vocalist Chick Bullock.
The tune was recorded by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra a month later, in April of 1934 with Frank Trumbauer plus Charlie and Jack Teagarden.
Much later, in 1955, it was recorded by an orchestra directed by Benny Carter featuring Louis Armstrong on vocals. Satch insisted on changing the racially charged lyrics of the original so that terms such as "black and tans" and "coal black joe" were replaced with more inclusive and positive language.
Recorded in New York City on March 23, 1934.
Released as Vocalion 2689.
