美國爵士樂團［雷斯布朗＆其樂團］＆歌壇巨星［桃樂絲黛］──傳統流行聖誕抒情曲──［The Christmas Song／聖誕之歌］

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by the choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santas on his way

Hes loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mothers child is going to spy

To see if reindeers really know how to fly

And so Im offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although its been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

And so Im offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although its been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

Merry Christmas to you

雷斯布朗（Les Brown, 1912-2001）是美國著名爵士樂手與指揮, 領導其樂團‘Les Brown and His Band of Renown’活躍樂壇六十餘年（1938-2000）

１９４７　雷斯布朗與其樂團（Les Brown and His Band）發行單曲［The Christmas Song／聖誕之歌］

繼續由長期合作的美國歌姬桃樂絲黛（Doris Day,1922-2019）擔任主唱

這是１９４５年由美國音樂人Bob Wells ＆Mel Tormé創作的聖誕歌曲經典

被許多歌手翻唱過

最著名的是美國非裔歌手／鋼琴家納京高（Nat king Cole, 1919-1965）於１９６１年灌錄的（個人）第四版

桃樂絲版是首傳統流行聖誕抒情曲, 在Les Brown指揮樂團的優美樂聲中, 黛細緻的輕柔吟唱, 溫柔迷人。

［The Christmas Song］登上Billboard單曲榜＃１２

成為桃樂絲首支耶誕名曲, 後來收在黛與雷斯布朗多張選輯中。
