Favourite version of Have yourself a merry little Christmas
I'm hearing lots of different versions of this song, but which is your favourite? Mine is the Luther VanDross version as it is very soulful and smooth

Judy Garland
who sung it originally. I can't believe she wasn't even acknowledged in the poll. |

I like loads of versions of this song so it would be hard to pick a second favourite! All the ones listed in the poll I enjoy too - and I agree that Judy should have been included in the poll, I love hers too <3 |

Judy Garland, obviously.
The Tori Amos version is also sublime. |

Ella Fitzgerald
There's something I'm not sure about with this though........I heard a version of the song by Ella in a coffee shop and it was slow and soulful and wistful and it seemed to be built around the looking back to days of yore...... But I bought the Ella Christmas Album and it seemed a different song on there......upbeat and jolly. That's the version that seems to be on Youtube I wonder if she recorded it more than once or maybe the coffee shop one was off a live session or something....... |

That's the only one her discography mentions, and I've not seen any live recordings either. |

Haven't a clue here. I've got one version, the one on the Christmas Album (originally 'Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas' - 1960) and don't recall another one.
That's the only one her discography mentions, and I've not seen any live recordings either. maybe the one I heard in the coffee shop was someone who just sounded very like Ella Fitzgerald........ I think it should really be sung as a sad song like the original.......not the more upbeat version that performers adopted from the 50s onwards ! |

I voted for Luther Vandross but it is definitely between him and Frank Sinatra.
