Although the song “Blue Christmas” has been recorded by everyone from Billy Idol to Porky Pig, the best version in my opinion is by Elvis.

The song was written in 1948 by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson and was first recorded by Dove O’Dell. Elvis really put it on the map when he recorded it in 1957.

What I like most about it is that Elvis doesn’t sing it like it’s a sad song, he sings it with soul and style.
