A selection of some of my favorite Christmas carols. A daily event through Christmas.

Today’s selection: Leon Redbone & Dr John – “Frosty The Snowman” – 1950/1988

Frosty The Snowman was first recorded by Gene Autry in 1950, followed by Jimmy Durante the same year. Autry had success with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and looked to have another Christmas song.

The song has been covered many times through the years; a TV version came out in 1969 with Jimmy Durante as the narrator.

Leon Redbone performed a duet of the song with Dr John on Redbone’s 1988 album “Christmas Island“
