Legendary jazz singer and songwriter Ella Fitzgerald performs her take on the Holiday classic that was composed during a California heatwave in 1945, and despite not mentioning anything about Christmas, it became regarded as a Christmas song because of its winter theme. This jazzy, swinging version from Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas album was recorded in 1960 and is one of my favorite versions of the song.
This is my last post for the year as I'm going on my usual holiday break. Here's hoping all of you will have a great Christmas and New Year ahead. Stay safe and hopefully I'll see you next year.
