The Drifters - "White Christmas"

[dhermann1]

Just got this and had to share it:
"Speaking of music... make sure you turn up your volume.
Here's the Drifters 1955 White Christmas cartoon once again. It's great and will never lose it's appeal...
Watch the video and listen to the golden voices of the stars of yester-year.
The lead singer of course is Bill Pinkney (Santa) and the falsetto voice belongs to the late Clyde McPhatter...
Merry Christmas to one and all.
The song was originally recorded by the Drifters in 1954, so turn the volume up - these reindeer can sing!"

Got this in an office email too, but I've heard this song many, many times before, especially as it's always been a favorite of mine. I'm usually a staunch defender of Bing Crosby's original, and of the mindset that no other version can hold a candle, but this one has always held a special place, and is just so fun.
