Music is an integral part of the Christmas season, and there’s nothing quite as magical and nostalgic as classic Christmas songs from the 1950s, specially the period that Rock sneaked in the tree. Two of the great classics on this album, “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” performed by Gene Autry, “Run Rudolph Run” by Chuck Berry and “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” (2022 Pin-Up Girls Christmas) were written by John David Marks an American songwriter specialized in Christmas songs (although he himself was Jewish and did not celebrate Christmas). “Jingle Bell Rock” is an American popular Christmas song first released by Bobby Helms in 1957. The final track of the album is for Diahann Carroll, an American actress, singer, model, and activist with the English traditional “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” 1.
