Ella Fitzgerald - Sleigh Ride

Details

Description

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs ever, which has been covered by many artists through the years since it was first recorded in 1949 by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra. Jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald recorded her version for her Christmas album in 1960, and in my mind it's one of the best versions of the song yet--nobody can quite sing like Ella Fitzgerald, and her jazzy, swinging version is just pure awesomeness; my parents love this version, and so do I.
