Chuck Cobb - Are You Lonesome Tonight

Long a staple on the Dean Martin Show....and on the Bob Hope Christmas shows from Viet Nam, Here are "The Golddiggers".

We Need a Little Christmas

We Wish You The Merriest

Frances Langford was a regular on Bob Hope's radio show as early as 1941; she toured with him and even joined him for the Persian Gulf tour in 1989.  My favorite role, however, was the oh so demure Blanche Bickerson, the nagging wife of long-suffering John Bickerson (Don Ameche).

Once Upon a Wintertime

The LeRoy Holmes Singers and "The Worst Darn Winter In Years".

The Worst Darn Winter In Years

Carmel Quinn.  *sigh* Here she sings "Santa's Coming".

Santa's Coming 1954

From the LP, 'White Christmas on the Campus' from 1961.  Here's the Dartmouth Glee Club!

Happy Holiday

Blancas Navidades (White Christma

Sometimes referred to as "The Baritone with Muscles", Vaughn Monroe was a very popular singer in the forties and fifties.  His version of 'Let it Snow' can be heard in both "Die Hard" and "Die Hard 2".  My personal favorite version of this song is by Dean Martin, but this is a very close second.

A Marshmallow World

Carmen Cavallaro was known as "The Poet of the Piano".  

O Little Town Of Bethlehem Joy To The World

Al Goodman and his Orchestra with "The First Noel".  Goodman led the orchestra for several seasons on the Fred Allen radio show, and the 'Colgate Comedy Hour' during the very early days of television.

The First Noel

From very late in the evening of Election Night, 1996.  Listen to the late David Brinkley (and the late Peter Jennings) offer his opinion....not realizing that he was on-air.
