Some songs are great songs that can be sung by anyone with talent and turn out great.  But some songs people own.  As far as I am concerned, Nat King Cole owns The Christmas Song.  Maybe I think this because it was a favorite of mine growing up, maybe it’s because it fits his beautiful voice perfectly, I don’t know.    But I do know that when I hear anyone else sing it, it just doesn’t sound right.  In my land of fantasy, I think he and I make it a great duet.

I’ve attached the original video of Nat King Cole singing this song on good ole balck and white TV.  If you’ve never seen this clip, it’s worth a minute or two.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOQard11J0
