Background
The Noble, Norvo, and film renditions were successful that year, as well as other 1937 recordings that included Billie Holiday and Glen Gray (vocal by Kenny Sargent).[7]
Les Brown's instrumental version, arranged by Skip Martin and recorded in 1946 as Columbia #38324, became a million-seller and Billboard top ten song in 1949.[8] Brown said that he got a call from Columbia Records after he performed the song telling him to record it, only to respond that he had recorded it three years earlier.[9] That same year vocal group The Mills Brothers also had a chart hit with their version on Decca #24550.[10]

Although not strictly a Christmas song as the lyrics make no mention of the holiday, it has been recorded for many artists' Christmas albums and is a standard part of the holiday song repertoire in the U.S. Artists such as Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, Dean Martin, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Dinah Washington and Idina Menzel (in a duet with Billy Porter) are among those who have covered it. Ella Fitzgerald recorded this for her 1958 Verve release Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Irving Berlin Songbook.[11]
During the Big Band era, the song was also recorded by several leading "sweet jazz bands" including Shep Fields and his Rippling Rhythm Orchestra in 1937.[12]
