Sweet Cecilia "Blue Christmas" 2016
"Blue Christmas" was first recorded by Doye O'Dell in 1948, and was popularized the following year in three separate recordings: one by country artist Ernest Tubb; one by musical conductor and arranger Hugo Winterhalter and his orchestra and chorus; and one by bandleader Russ Morgan and his orchestra (the latter featuring lead vocals by Morgan and backing vocals by singers credited as the Morganaires). Elvis Presley cemented the status of "Blue Christmas" as a rock-and-roll holiday classic by recording it for his 1957 LP Elvis' Christmas Album.
Seen here is Sweet Cecilia performing a capella only one verse of the song as this footage was filmed for a video promo announcing a Christmas concert in Lafayette Louisiana Dec 9th 2016. Sweet Cecilia had released their first and only Christmas EP just the year before in 2015. Blue Christmas was on that release recorded with a full instrument arraignment.
