Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms - MP3 instrumental karaoke

From Hall & Oates, who covered the song in 1983, and Rascal Flatts to that iconic scene in Mean Girls, many versions of "Jingle Bell Rock" have emerged over the years, but, let's be honest, nothing has ever come close to the original by Bobby Helms. Released in 1957, this festive feast has all the ingredients of a killer rock 'n' roll tune wrapped in a huge, shiny red bow of Christmas cheer. "Jingle Bell Rock" was allegedly composed by Joseph Carleton Beal and James Ross Boothe and, although there is an authorship controversy surrounding the song, Bobby Helms brought it to life a charting version that made it to Number 13 on Billboard's Most Played C&W by Jockeys chart, a predecessor to the Hot Country Songs chart. The track was also featured on the soundtrack album to the 1996 Christmas family comedy film Jingle All the Way, with the original Bobby Helms version returning to the Billboard country singles charts in late 1996 and early 1997, this time reaching Number 60.
