Song of the Day Dec 1
December 1, 2023
Today our song is: Rockin Around the Christmas Tree
Wikipedia tells us this about the song:
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" was written by Johnny Marks, who had previously penned "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas". In spite of her adult voice, Brenda Lee recorded the song when she was only 13 years old. In a 2019 interview with The Tennessean, Lee recalled that she had no knowledge as to why Marks wanted her specifically to sing it: "I was only 12 [sic], and I had not had a lot of success in records, but for some reason he heard me and wanted me to do it. And I did."
Enjoy!
Stephen's favorite singer, and one of mine. "Little Miss Dynamite" really makes the season bright...
