A very fun 50s Christmas song. Don't miss the sleigh bells hammering out the first phrase to "Jingle Bells" toward the end. It's a laugh every time you hear it! One reviewer says this one is destined to become part of the Christmas canon. After you hear it, you will probably be on board with that.
BMI award-winning songwriter Charles Nathan (1921 - 2012) wrote: "I Want a Doll." It is a Swing-style Christmas song featuring Donna Courtell, voice, and Paul Biondi, Jazz-tenor-sax. It's an old Christmas song that's new! The pro singing of clever words, hot Jazz-tenor-sax playing, swinging rhythm section, and creative arrangement put this holiday-music production in a class by itself.
Crafted to "...make the season bright," the recording is a Christmas music must-listen for the holiday season! (The personnel for the track includes Donna Courtell, v. Paul Biondi, sax/cl. Gus Russell, p. Don Elkington, dr/perc. Don Latarski, g. and Greg Nathan, b.)
Your purchase will include the "I Want a Doll" audio track, the leadsheet in the key of the recording, plus 3 different types of lyric sheets: vocal only, singer/player, and arranger. This way you'll be able to perform "I Want a Doll" your way for the coming holidays. Enjoy!
