Blue Christmas-The LUCKY DUCKIES at TVI 2011

"Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson. Its tale of unrequited love during the holidays and is a longstanding staple of Christmas music, especially in the country genre. The most famous version belongs to Elvis Presley. The song was first recorded by Doye O'Dell in 1948, and was popularized the following year in three separate recordings: one by country artist Ernest Tubb; one by bandleader Hugo Winterhalter and his orchestra; and one by bandleader Russ Morgan and his orchestra (the latter featuring lead vocals by Morgan and backing vocals by singers credited as the Morganaires).[4] Tubb's version spent the first week of January 1950 at # 1 on Billboard magazine's Most-Played Juke Box (Country & Western) Records chart, while Winterhalter's version peaked at # 9 on Billboard's Records Most Played by Disk Jockeys chart and Morgan's version reached # 11 on Billboard's Best-Selling Pop Singles chart. Now it's time to listen to the LUCKY DUCKIES version.
