What could be better than Mel Torme, The Velvet Fog, singing The Christmas Song? How about Mel Torme singing The Christmas Song but remixed? My #23 song of 25 Days of Christmas is The Christmas Song (Michael Kessler Open Fire Mix).
I have no idea how this remix came to be but I like it.
The Christmas Song was written in 1944 by Mel Torme and Bob Wells in a blistering 40-minutes. Best 40-minutes of their lives. This is another song in which nearly everyone who has ever lived has covered it: Robert Goulet, Babyface, Twisted Sister, and The Temptations to name just a few. And I mean just a few.
