"The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)" is a classic Christmas song written by Mel Tormé and Bob Wells in 1944 and was first recorded by The King Cole Trio in 1946. The song was recorded again in stereophonic version with a full orchestra conducted by Ralph Carmichael using the same arrangement for Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song album in 1961.

N.S.: I believe Cole cut three records of this song.

    Nat King Cole's version of a white Christmas was pumping Gunilla Hutton a few times a day.

    They used to say: "why can't they all be like Ernie Banks?". They should also have said: "why can't they all be as Nat King Cole?"
