Brenda Lee had had two singles ("One Step at a Time" and "Dynamite") in the US charts by this time, but those were only moderately successful. Her stardom was kicked off when her single "Sweet Nothin's" (written by Ronnie Self) was released in September 1959. That climbed to #4 in both US and UK charts.
Four other songs recorded in this session were "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", "Papa Noel", "Let's Jump the Broomstick" and "Heading Home".
This was Boots Randolph's first of many sessions with Brenda Lee.
The title song was first published by Hughie Cannon in 1902 and it was a #1 hit for Artur Collins the same year. It's a fairly old song, I'd say.
List price: Very Good+ is $12.50, Near Mint is $25
