From the 1951 film 'The Lemon Drop Kid' comes the original version of 'Silver Bells', although the first recorded version was by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards. Once the song proved popular, Hope & Maxwell went into a studio to make their own recording.
This song has appeared once on the Calendar before, an excellent soul version by Wilson Pickett that you can hear here and I urge you to seek it out later today.
Anyone who thinks I'm running this on Day 25 this year just to crack a joke about this being the only Hope you can expect this Christmas or New Year should stop me if you see me in the street. We've probably got a lot in common and would get on well.
Enjoy your day and Merry Christmas!
