We played the grooves off of mom’s LP back in the day, I later bought it on cassette & then CD, and it’s now on my iPod.

NO ONE could EVER sing that song like Nat Cole did.

And as long as we’re hopelessly dating ourselves here, I have always loved “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and “The Little Drummer Boy” as sung by the Harry Simone Choir. Those two recordings meant Christmas when I was a boy.

I love the theology of the drummer boy– a poor boy playing his best for another poor boy who is also the King.

Mel Torme supposedly has said that Nat’s version is the only time he’s ever thought someone else did one of his song’s better than he could do it himself.
