Countdown to Christmas: Little Drummer Boy (1959)

 The most famous recording of "Little Drummer Boy" was made by the Harry Simeone Chorale. The group appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1959 to perform this holiday classic.

Eight years later, as we all know, the song was adapted into a Christmas special for NBC. That same year, Jose Feliciano recorded a bilingual cover on his Christmas album. When the title song from said album, "Feliz Navidad", was reissued 20 years later, "Drummer" was the B-side on cassette singles & CD-singles.
