Ladies and Gentlemen, Nat King Cole! From his album “The Christmas Song” recorded in 1961.
As usual, when I post a video of a singer singing this song, I also post a link to Mark Evanier’s wonderful story of four Christmas carolers and their unexpected meeting with the song’s co-composer, Mel Tormé at the Farmer’s Market in LA.
Ha! I was just reading Mark Evanier’s comment about how that is the most-linked piece he’s ever written, and the one most frequently plagiarized. Not at all surprised to see you with the correct attribution!
This is the fourth time I’ve linked to it, always without even quoting, just pointing to his site. Netiquette! 😉
