Frank Sinatra's 'A Jolly Christmas': A Timeless Classic Album for the Holiday Season
From the soothing tones of ‘A Jolly Christmas’ by Frank Sinatra to modern holiday compilations, Christmas albums have been an essential part of holiday cheer through the decades. Sinatra, an emblematic figure of the 1950s, released his charming 15-track Christmas album in 1957. His smooth vocals and the accompaniment of a gentle background choir offer a traditional, heartwarming soundtrack to the season’s festivities. The remastered version from 1999 preserves the original’s authenticity while providing an acoustic freshness. Sinatra’s rendition of ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ stands out as a timeless classic, perfect for December’s cozy moments. Amidst the holiday spirit, Sinatra’s album also serves as a historical snapshot, concluding with a public service announcement on tuberculosis, reflecting the health concerns of the era.
