"The Little Drummer Boy"- The Harry Simeone Chorale (HQ Audio)

In my opinion, the prettiest version of the song. I really like it, and I had to share!

It's my father's baritone keeping the time down low in this song. It really is the best version of all time., I honor my father who has had a stroke since he recorded this and cannot remember being a part of it. Breaks my heart when they sing "I played my best for him".

@818morrissey That is such a shame. I'm so sorry. At least he was a part of such a magical song.

Your father has excellent taste in music, I'm sorry for his passing.

[BlueEyedBabe03]

@pegasus818 Thank you so much. Merry Christmas!

Babette's... uh, Bovine's... no, Bieber, that's right! Bieber's cannot even come close to the original version. His trying to squeal his way through it just doesn't cut it. You have to have the choir and the basses backing them. It just is....

@ongawesgone I have chose to ignore the fact that Justin Bieber can now be associated with Christmas music. He really should stay out of my favorite category.

This the definitive version. No other comes close.

I have this on a Christmas CD I bought several years ago. It was the whole reason I bought it. This song is amazing...as was stated previously..this is the absolute version, nothing comes close at all. It takes me back to my childhood Christmases and really captures the REASON for the season. Thank you for sharing it. RIP to your father, he had excellent taste in Christmas music :]

This is my favorite Christmas song of all time and this is by far my favorite version of the song. Blessings to your father for giving us so much. Thanks to him for playing his best for us.

I also bought the CD because of this song. Yes, this to me is the best version.

My favoriteChristmas song. Brings back sad memories of my favorite Aunts murder just days after the release of this song in 1958. She was born in Ireland, proud of it, and liked her Jameson straight up. She was hell on wheels after two of them, but she was a great Aunt and I still think of her and miss her a lot, this version of Drummer Boy causes the memories to come flooding back.

Thank you both for your words. I never, ever tire of this version, or from any selection from the Harry Simeone Christmas album from which it was culled. I don't get too weepy much, but if this one finds itself in the machine, I'm a cooked goose every time!

@818morrissey This has always been the best version of this Christmas carol. I'm sorry about your father. God Bless you.
