1954 HITS ARCHIVE: Home For The Holidays - Perry Como (his original version)

Details

Description

(There’s No Place Like) Home For The Holidays (Stillman-Allen) by Perry Como, orchestra and chorus conducted by Mitchell Ayres

Here is Perry’s original feel-good 1954 Christmas hit. In 1959, RCA Victor had him record a newly-arranged “replacement” stereo version that dropped the brassy big band open in favor of a more low-key intro. For decades, that was the only one that RCA would issue on its various holiday music compilations.
