Mel Torme didn't write a verse for his Christmas song until the 1960s, so Nat King Cole never recorded a version that included it.
I've added Mel singing the verse, followed by Nat's original recording, made at the WMCA Studios in New York City on June 14, 1946, but not publicly released until 1989 on the Rhino album "Billboard Greatest Christmas Hits 1935-1954." It features Nat on piano, Oscar Moore on guitar and Johnny Miller on bass.
The first released version was recorded the same year, with strings added, and again in 1953 (partly to correct the mistakenly sung "reindeers" heard in this version).

I know many of you like Mel, and he is good, but there are only two all time greats: Nat and Sam Cooke.

Two of the greatest voices EVER. For entirely different reasons, neither quite gets the place in history he rightfully deserves. But thankfully, we can still appreciate their talents today. RIP

How fortunate they were in the same key. Nice job of pasting them together.
