History of Christmas Carols...
Answer to last quiz...
To black slaves in the United States, the birth of a Savior who would set all men free was a miracle worth singing about. What Christmas Carol was based on a Spiritual and was first popularized by the Fisk University 'Jubilee Singers?' The Carol is 'Go Tell It On The Mountain.'
Today's Christmas Carol quiz...
Ross Bagdasarian was a novelty writer who wrote the hit song 'Come Onna my House' for Rosemary Clooney in 1951. But Ross preferred tinkering with the dials, gauges and lights in the sound booth at the recording studio. He is most famous for a bizarre hit he came up with in 1958. This Christmas song sold over 5 million copies in 1958 and received 3 Grammy Awards that year for 'Best Comedy Performance,' 'Best Recording for Children' and 'Best Engineered Record.' This is the last Christmas song to reach #1 on any US single record chart.
Name this popular Christmas song...
