"The Christmas Song", written by Bob Wells & Mel Torme, was recorded on four different occasions by Nat King Cole. The final version, recorded in 1961 with orchestrations by Ralph Carmichael, is considered the definitive version, and plays every year on radio stations around the country. Cole first recorded the track 15 years earlier in 1946, and recruited the legendary Nelson Riddle to conduct the orchestra for a 1953 re-record.
The following video is set to the 1961 version.
