1940s Christmas Recordings

[stillwell]

Hi guys,

I have been trying to find christmas carol recordings from the late 1930s early 1940s, but I am not sure where to start

do you guys know of any specific songs/artists

also, not to make this absolutely boring and worthless,

What is your favorite christmas song?

Check this one out:

If you want to go the more eccentric route, I highly recommend this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Where-Will-Yo...=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1290873287&sr=1-1
And my favorite Christmas song, is, you guessed it, "The Christmas Song".
The 1961 version is the one everybody knows and loves, but here's the 1946 version:

I love 'O holy night' but the one that always gets me is 'have yourself a merry little Christmas' as sung by Judy Garland in 'Meet me in St Louis' I always loved the film as a child, my dad was a real film buff and before he died in 1998 he bought me a music box which played it.

I have lots of carols on 78, but no use to you in Connecticut!

We've added a good number of 1930s and '40s Christmas carols to the playlist at Cladrite Radio. Give us a listen; I think you might like what you hear.
