Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

thunderhawk · Dec 02, 2019, 04:14 AM

Here's a lovely old tune that's now reached its 85th Christmas and is still as fresh as ever - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town recorded live on Genos using the HappyChristmas style from the Easy Christmas expansion pack. The song was first recorded by banjo player Harry Reser and his band in 1934 and further popularised by George Hall & His Orchestra in that year. It has since been recorded by hundreds of artists including Bing Crosby (1941), Perry Como (1946), Bruce Springsteen (1978), Mariah Carey (1994), Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, Chris Isaak, The Temptations, Justin Bieber (2011) and Michael Bublé.

Thanks Flip, glad you enjoyed this merry little tune. Yes, I'm a great fan of Wal's and Toril's musical creations too. You also have a very tuneful voice - I can't sing for toffees! Tim
