Per her bio, Shirley relates that during the taping of this program before a live audience, a lady with a gun was stalking down the aisle right towards her! Somehow she managed to keep going with the song all the while waving her hands frantically at the security guards. They finally caught on.

Turns out the woman, who was deranged, had lost a baby on the day Shirley was born and accused Shirley of having taken the baby's soul and had come to claim it back.

@trocaria Oh yes I remember reading that. What the woman did not know is that Shirley's birth year was not 1929 as she thought. Shirley is a true gem to keep on singing, even in the face of danger.

She is simply exquisite in this performance. She always sparkles, even to this day.

It's a great song & hearing a child sing it at Christmas time is very beautiful.
