SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

Hello again everyone. Welcome to the last Daily Vitamin of 2023. Remember that we will be back on Monday, January 8th (2024) with more Daily Vitamins. 

Today we look at our fifth and final Christmas song of the week. It's probably the most popular one of the songs that I've included this week.  

Today's Christmas song is: Santa Claus is Coming to Town

This song has been recorded by lots of artists over the years. You can read more about the song on Wikipedia at the following link:

In Wikipedia it says that "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town is a Christmas song written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie and first recorded by Harry Reser and His Band. When it was covered by Eddie Cantor on his radio show in November 1934 it became a hit; within 24 hours, 500,000 copies of sheet music and more than 30,000 records were sold. The version for Bluebird Records by George Hall and His Orchestra (vocal by Sonny Schuyler) was very popular in 1934 and reached the various charts of the day. The song has been recorded by over 200 artists including Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, the Crystals, Neil Diamond, Fred Astaire, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Bill Evans, Chris Isaak, the Temptations, The Pointer Sisters, the Carpenters, Michael Bublé, Luis Miguel, and the Jackson 5."
