This song – issued as a non-album festive single, coupled with “Christmas Memories,” on Reprise in 1975 – is a storytelling ballad whose message is love and peace on earth. It was co-written by noted US singer-songwriter John Denver with Joe Henry (later an acclaimed record producer) for his adopted son, Zachery. The string-heavy arrangement on Sin...
A sense of gravitas imbues the elegant Gordon Jenkins string arrangement that opens Sinatra’s rendering of William B. Sandy’s Victorian English Christmas carol. The song builds gradually, climaxing in rich choral passages beautifully sung by The Ralph Brewster Singers.
This American Christmas carol, which espouses peace on Earth, was based on an 1863 poem called “Christmas Bells” by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It was later set to music by several different composers, but in 1956 the song was revived with a new melody by composer/lyricist Johnny Marks. Sinatra recorded this one in 1964 on the Son...
The 16th-century English folk song “Greensleeves” was the melodic inspiration for “The Bells Of Christmas,” which had lyrics written for it by noted tunesmiths Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn. On his recording, Sinatra shares the microphone with his children Nancy and Frank, Jr. It featured on the 1968 Reprise albumThe Sinatra Family Wish You A Mer...
The history of this doleful Austrian carol goes back to 1818, when it was composed by Franz Gruber and Joseph Mohr; but they weren’t alive to reap the financial benefits of having Bing Crosby take it into the Top 10 of the US charts in 1935. Sinatra recorded his version as a Christmas single in 1945, and it later appeared on his album A Jolly Chris...
In 1960, Frank Sinatra left Capitol toform his own record company, Reprise. This wistful interpretation of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen’s nostalgic song came from his first Yuletide album for the label, the collaborative12 Songs Of Christmas.
Accompanied by sugar-frosted harmonies from The Ralph Brewster Singers, Sinatra serves up an affecting rendition of this overlooked gem from the pens of renowned tunesmiths Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. Sinatra’s longtime musical ally Nelson Riddle is the arranger/conductor here, and the song appeared on Ol’ Blue Eyes’ second festive album, A Jolly Ch...
Written by “that kid, Jimmy Webb”, as Sinatra was fond of calling the rising young songwriter in the 60s, this tune finds him embracing a contemporary Christmas song. The glittering arrangement, complete with a celestial choir, is by noted orchestrator Don Costa, who often collaborated with Sinatra in the 70s.
Framed by lush strings and an obligatory choir, this was a non-album single from 1975 that was written by husband-and-wife songwriting duo Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and arranged and produced by Don Costa.
Written in 1941 by Katherine Kennicott Davis, “The Little Drummer Boy” rose to fame in the 50s via versions by The Trapp Family Singers and The Harry Simeone Chorale. Sinatra, together with Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians – who had guested on the singer’s 1964 album America, I Hear You Singing – creates an eerily atmospheric rendition of this clas...
