The All New Music Tag Reboot!

Yes, Nancy is excellent. However, I will give you a peek into who I flip over.

Miss Peggy Lee. Like Nancy, she remained beautiful and classy. I prefer her version of The Christmas Waltz, but not by much over Nancy's version.

Capitol really had it going on in the 1950s and 1960s. What a fantastic stable of artists. From Country (Tennessee Ernie Ford), to Popular and Jazz (Nat Cole, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Wilson, Peggy Lee).

 

Dancing and Christmas? I think I know what goes next:

 

What comes next...great Christmas time jazz!
Shortened but still...

Charlie Brown Christmas Dance - Vince Guaraldi

 

O.K. now that Christmas day is past, we will return to our regularly scheduled music tag.

Probably this is his next best known composition after Linus and Lucy. Vince was sheer greatness and was one of the sources to a 3 year old child along with Disney's Jungle Book soundtrack to the then unknown world of Jazz.
