Just been listening to them on YouTube. Took me back to the 50s and 60s.

Those are great! Thanks for the link.

Makes me homesick, though.

It’s a little more recent (1960s) but this one has been knocking me out the last few evenings:

Most of these are from the 1940’s and early 1950’s. They include some great tunes that have been, unfortunately, forgotten, including “The Christmas Spell” by Anne Shelton (1949) and “Song of the Sleigh Bells” by June Hutton (1952).

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs of the 1940's.

Cradle Song of the Virgin--Dick Haymes with the Song Spinners (1944)

Back before the secularization of Christmas when Christmas was pretty much a home family thing.
