Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Cliff Richard - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The quintessential holiday tune "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" was penned by Johnny Marks, known for classics like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." In 2022, English pop singer Cliff Richard, recorded a more updated version for his 46th studio album, Christmas with Cliff, which peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. The song was first recorded in 1958 by American singer Brenda Lee, who was only 13 years old at the time. The original version is a vibrant rockabilly number, boasting a lineup of seasoned musicians such as Hank Garland, Harold Bradley, Floyd Cramer, Boots Randolph, Bob Moore, and Buddy Harman. Initially released by Decca in 1958 and again in 1959, the song's success was initially modest. It was only after Brenda Lee's rise to stardom in 1960 that "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" found its audience, making its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 that holiday season and reaching number 14. Over the following decades, the track was covered countless times by artists like Kim Wilde and Mel Smith, Kacey Musgraves and Camila Cabello.
