We can strike off the list those versions covered by:

Thank you, that was pretty good, sort of a remake in a way too.

If you like that sort of music, here’s a couple I’ve been listening to lately by the Brian Setzer Orchestra:

Checked my favorite instrumental “Light Jazz Christmas” cds—which usually kept my mom and I from debating over what to play (standards or modern) in the 90’s. Did not have Silver Bells on them unfortunately...

Had not heard of Echosmith before now, thank you, folks!

Bob Hope and Marylin Maxwell in “The Lemon Drop Kid”. The original version of the song.

“WHAT YOU GOT?”

What I “got” for any version of Silver Bells is a trash can. It gets deposited immediately after any version of The Little Drummer Boy.

I’ve always looked for non-traditional variations. I kinda sorta like this one.

Is Diana Ross on that track? Or just the Supremes?

Yes, in those days (1965) she hadn’t reach full diva-dom. They were still only known as “The Supremes.”
