Artifact Overview
Bob Wells and Mel Torme wrote "The Christmas Song" on a hot July day in 1945. When they played it for Nat King Cole, Cole fell in love with it. His King Cole Trio recorded it in 1946, and Cole would record the song several more times. Cole's 1961 recording is considered by many as the definitive version of this holiday classic.
