You might be surprised to find out that the original artist was only 13 when she recorded this Christmas classic. It was a great crossover song, so it enjoyed time on a number of charts.
The original recording featured Boots Randolph on saxophone and is an instrumental in the background of the 1964 TV hit, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in the scene where Rudolph meets Fireball at the Reindeer Games. Fireball is a jerk.
The song was released in 1958 and again in 1959, but never achieved any status until 1960 when it peaked at 14 on the Billboard Charts.
While this song has been re-recorded by a number of others, we’re going to enjoy the musical ability of its 13-year-old original artist.
For those who are interested, Brenda Lee, AKA Little Miss Dynamite, had a tremendous early career.
Now that toes are tapping and dogs are dancing (we discovered that Harry ADORES music, but really loves it when he is being sung to by the guy around here), we will move onto toe tapping great gift ideas.
