Talk:Blue Christmas (song)

message: I once saw this song performed on TV by a fellow with an acoustic guitar.  He performed it as though Porky Pig was singing "Blue Christmas". This rendition of the song is intended to be comical and succeeds quite well in that regard, I think, because a woman in the background starts giggling partway through the song and ends up in full on laughter.  She is nearly as funny as the fellow doing the singing.  I do not know the fellow's name. The MP3 recording of this rendition is widely available on the Interwebs  Hopefully, someone who knows the artist's name will add to this section and give the name of the performer.  He could probably use the recognition for his talents.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BLewis66 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The original 1948 version by Doye O'Dell was issued on Exclusive Records as Exclusive 65x: . YouTube has a video here, whch says "Doye O'Dell was the first artist to record this Christmas standard. Doye was born in Gustine, Texas in 1912 and raised as a boy in Plainview, Texas, where Jimmy Dean also hailed from. Doye had a long recording history from the 1930s to the 1980s and was still performing into his 80s. Doye replaced Tim Spencer in some later Sons of the Pioneer recordings and movie and personal appearances. Doye also had parts in many other TV shows and movies. He had his own TV variety shows that ran for many years on KTLA in Los Angeles and was a household name in California. Doye's records are sought-after collector's items today." Although it's posted at the "Doye O'Dell channel" on YT, I have not added it as an External link as its copyright status (with the accompanying film clip) is unclear.

message: It was first recorded in 1948 -- is that also teh year it was composed?  Or was it composed earlier?
This article seems to be more about recordings of the song, than about the song itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 22:46, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
