A JOLLY CHRISTMAS FROM FRANK SINATRA — Track #1: “Jingle Bells”
Sleigh bells ring-a-ding-ding…
Frank’s birthday was yesterday, December 12th. Today is the 13th, meaning there are 12 days until Christmas.
There are 12 tracks on A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra—his first Christmas album, released by Capitol Records in 1957. We’ll bring them your way in order, between now and December 24.
Track #1: Frank jazzes up the old standard, “Jingle Bells”, which was written by James Lord Pierpont in 1857. Here, he’s backed by the Ralph Brewster Singers along with an orchestra conducted by Gordon Jenkins.
“I love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells…”
