On December 9, 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas aired on TV screens across America and instantly captured the hearts and ears of a generation. Bolstering the animated special, based on Charles M. Schulz's immensely popular PEANUTS comic strip, was an engaging score from Bay Area jazz artist Vince Guaraldi, who brought characters like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy to life through his evocative cues... Guaraldi's soundtrack, meanwhile, has since become one of the best-selling jazz albums in history, second only to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, and regularly ranks among America's top-selling holiday albums every December.

I’m afraid to click on that link to “Granny” from the Beverly Hillbillies singing “I am Woman.”
Vince Guaraldi’s “Charlie Brown Christmas” is my favorite Christmas music - I listen to it endlessly at home and in the car, b/c I play it at no other time of year. It embodies Christmas. Played it in my classroom too - kids only know “Peanuts” through the Christmas and Halloween specials.
:^) Her first screen appearance was in the 1937 version of “A Star Is Born”. I had to check that, thought I remembered that, but it checked out, just not in the role I thought.
Granny died kinda early, but looked about 40 years older than she was.
It’s likely that most of us remember her as the wizened B Hillbillies character, who also helped launch the spinoff “Petticoat Junction” (I heard the choo-choo sound from the theme song before I started typing that one), with her line at Drucker’s Store, “you’re not gonna shoot me [x-number] of miles” when Drucker told her she had to reach her destination by Cannonball.
I think Drucker’s store was also the tie into Green Acres. Hayseed sitcoms were very good to that network.
Can’t believe I was only 2 when it first came out...but I do remember, vaguely, my mommy telling me about it. She said “Mwwa-mwa. Mwaa Ma mwa-mwaah maw.”
LOL!
The singing version is my favorite song from the season, but this instrumental version is only thing I wish anyone would bother to push through the muzack systems in the stores.
I agree! Thank you for sharing this. I liked the comments at the YouTube page!
My pleasure!
