Christmas In July '24-Day 5
I don't know about all you folks, but I had to go back to work today after getting yesterday off. No fun to come back to work for one day. I guess I should have taken the day off, but I burned all my vacation days late last year for a trip to England, Italy and Switzerland, and they haven't reset yet. So I work and work and work, even when it doesn't make any sense. Speaking of working, here are three more Christmas songs from non-Christmas albums that I recorded just for you. I think only one of these is an entirely new share from me, but the other two are still worthy of your time. I won't tell you which is which though, maybe that way you'll enjoy them all. Thanks for stopping by today, come back tomorrow for more.
1. Joe Cain And His Orchestra-I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm Cha Cha Cha (Irving Berlin Goes Latin, 1959)
2. Buck Owens' Buckaroos-Fiddle Solo By Don Rich-Greensleeves (Anywhere, U.S.A., 1969)
3. The Gregg Smith Singers-Gregg Smith, Conductor-A Virgin Unspotted (Judea) (The Continental Harmony-Music Of William Billings, 1969)
Nice selection! Too bad you don't have the "Greensleeves Cha-Cha-Cha," though.
ReplyDeleteI've got the O Holy Night Cha Cha Cha, will that work? If not, I'll keep searching.

I do have in my 45 collection a Grand Award 45 from Enoch Light that has the "Baby It's Cold Outside Cha Cha" on one side.
DeleteI feel like that Enoch Light track was from one of the more popular releases on Waldorf, I Want To Be Happy Cha Cha Cha, though it's been a while since I've looked at it.
DeleteI have company for the holiday so I’m running a little late tonight:

I would love any of the Cha-Cha versions of Christmas songs. Such fun!
There's some more cha-cha Christmas records out there, but you have to dig deep. Hugo Winterhalter, Hernando Hopkins, at least one kiddie song with non-chipmunk vocals.
DeleteI had to work on the fourth of July, too, if that makes you feel any better. The cha cha song is right up my alley and I also really enjoyed the Buck Owens track. Thank you so much, Ernie!
ReplyDeleteAny cha cha song is a good one. And no Buck on that track, just his Buckaroos stepping out on their own. :)
DeleteReminds me of a Richard Pryor bit where it was just the Pips.
