Re: Best Christmas Songs...
I just enjoyed my annual listening of Bing Crosby's That Christmas Feeling album. It's a collection of radio broadcasts from the mid-40s to the early 1950s.
The highlight is a seven-minute medley of songs by Bing and his four sons from his first family. The medley includes songs I've never heard elsewhere like That Christmas Feeling and I'd Like to Hitch a Ride with Santa Claus.
The medley is particularly poignant because of all the troubles that came later with his sons. One of my favorite moments of the Christmas season is when I hear (I think) Dixie Lee say "All together now" just before the finale of the medley.
Would love to hear this medley on Detroit radio but it's probably too long.

I enjoyed my annual listening as well tonight, to Led Zeppelin’s 3rd LP In SQ Quad and I have got to say , it was rather enjoyable. lolBobbert wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 7:24 pmI just enjoyed my annual listening of Bing Crosby's That Christmas Feeling album.

Re: Best Christmas Songs...
Does anyone remember a Christmas song (probably local) played on WJR in the late 1960s or early 1970s? It was sung by a little girl. Lyrics started with "Christmas isn't Christmas, 'cause I can't find my toys, What a dirty trick to play on little girls and boys". It ends with "It's only December 24th, I discovered to my sorrow. Christmas isn't Christmas til tomorrow."

Who remembers "Ho Ho Ho, Who'd Be a Turkey at Christmas" by Elton John?
