Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree is a Christmas song written by Johnny Marks and recorded by Brenda Lee in 1958 on Decca9-30776.

Although Decca released it in both 1958 and again in 1959, it did not sell well until Lee became a popular star in 1960; that Christmas season, it hit #14 on the Billboard pop chart and turned into a perennial holiday favorite. It continued to sell well during the holiday season, hitting #5 on the Christmas chart as late as 1984. Brenda Lee’s recording still receives a great deal of airplay. Despite the song’s title, its instrumentation also fits the Country genre which Brenda Lee more fully embraced as her career evolved. Despite her mature-sounding voice, she recorded this song when she was only 14 years old. The recording featured Hank Garland’s ringing guitar.

For decades, Brenda Lee’s recording was the only notable version of the song. Radio stations ranging from Top 40 to Adult Contemporary to Country Music to Oldies to even Adult Standards played this version.

    Never Forget:

    Tom Steyer stole Kamala’s voter data.
    Mike Bloomberg targeted Kamala’s staff.
    Tulsi Gabbard lied about Kamala’s record.
    Russian bots attacked Kamala relentlessly.
    The media amplified every negative angle about Kamala Harris. https://twitter.com/coryprovost/status/1201943232344731650?s=20

    The leadership needs to look like the base. Period. And Bloomberg and Steyer need take their billionaire asses on home.

    Bernie Sanders has had a heart attack, has had 3 major campaign shake-ups and has had his campaign sued for gender discrimination and he hasn’t received one-tenth the bad press Kamala did.

    Kamala is nobody’s consolation prize, so stop suggesting AG or VP. Obama, a president ten times better than the previous 43, and better than anyone currently running, offered her that job, and she turned him down…FOH https://twitter.com/coreybking/status/1202054799275053056?s=20

    As far as I’m concerned, the @DNC needs to amend the debate rules to disqualify or raise the polling threshold substantially for self-funding candidates and give those spots instead to POC who are still in the race. #HonorKamala https://twitter.com/thepeoplesview/status/1202086111960555520?s=20
