How many days until Christmas? 6.
The first time I heard this song was a Harry Belafonte version on a radio program in Austria called "Oldies und Superhits" many, many years ago. I have to admit that program introduced me to a ton of classic hits and although that fact definitely solidfies me in the "strange teenager" category, I am truly grateful for whoever made the selections as well as the ancient technology of the radio/tape combo, which allowed me to create the prehistoric playlists: mix tapes. Anyway, this song is great as it is, but I like the vibe Harry Connick gives it. It's not so often that a Christmas song makes you want to move.
I couldn't find a youtube version, so click here and you can listen to the track: Mary's Little Boy Child - Harry Connick, Jr
I'm sure there's a much smarter way to post music online, but I haven't got the time to figure it out.
