All I Want for Christmas Is You (Vince Vance & the Valiants song)

All I Want for Christmas is You is a Christmas novelty song. It was recorded in 1988 or 1989 and released late in the latter year. The song was performed under the American novelty act Vince Vance & the Valiants. It has charted on the United States' Billboard country singles charts multiple times.

Andy Stone performed under the name Vince Vance with the group. The female voice for the song was under Lisa Burgess Stewart (better known as Lisa Layne). 

The controversy
In 2022 and 2023, American R&B-soul music singer Mariah Carey was sued by Andy Stone (the songwriter for the original version) due to "undeserved profits" made by Carey with her song under the same title and alleged copyright infringement. In March 2025, however, Carey won the suits filed onto her relating to her song of the same name although the original was recorded five or six years earlier.
