About The Record:

Happy Holidays, the 21st edition in the series, has a superb variety of recordings. Fifty years and nine months separates the swingy, trend-setting Santa Claus is Coming to Town of Tommy Dorsey (9/26/1935) and the serene, state-of-the-art recording of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by James Galway (6/28/1986) – the latter made especially for this True Value Stories' LP. You'll enjoy the worlds-apart mood and style of the Glenn Miller era and those of today's Alabama. They more than dramatize the many ways of expressing Christmas joy; they show that this very particular impulse springs eternal, powerful and loving, in the musical heart of mankind.
