Natalie Cole - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) Lyrics
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Helps to make the season bright, yeah
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you

One of my favorite Christmas songs.
Voices of angels!
with love
Timeless!!!!
I am still listening....brilliant musicians who are now playing up above!!!!!!! Nat Cole was a freakin' incredible pianist [ and had great musicians in his groups] and singer..he surely passed that talent on to Natalie. We saw her at Westbury many years ago and were blown away. Too bad Nat died so long ago when I was too young to go see him.
R.I.P.
NO VOICE LIKE NATALIE'S & NAT KING COLE'S!! GREAT & WIDE RANGE!! TRUE CLASSIC!!

Dec 2019...no words needed...Beautifuul.
Just like your name 1LOVE
So well said.
No one tops Nat King Cole .......
Should old acquaintance be forgot . . .
Came here to share a reminiscence about an arranger you may not have heard of, who specialized in Christmas music and found this -- maybe the finest example of his work. Just learned that “Bob Krogstad” a brilliant, lesser-known composer/arranger I had admired for decades, died four years ago in a Springfield Missouri hospital, age 64. An online bio (no Wiki entry) brought back memories that,
"Mr. Krogstad served for a time as musical director for both Natalie Cole and Mel Torme" [and conducted Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra musicians on Mel's final concert appearance in our city.] He's listed in liner notes as arranger on Natalie Cole's second Christmas album for Hallmark Cards which has always employed London Symphony/Philharmonic musicians (arguably the best available for recordings) by the world's greatest singers.
The shuffle play miracle that is YouTube sent this one my way today: Natalie & Nat Cole with their studio-engineered 'duet' of Mel Torme's “The Christmas Song” (Chestnuts Roasting).
Since you can Google for anything now and get instant answers, my question of a moment ago: “Who arranged those London Symphony musicians?” – which led right back to “Bob Krogstad” and his short obituary.
Listen to the joyous outburst in three-quarter-time that Mr. Krogstad creates as an instrumental bridge supplementing the early Nelson Riddle arrangement of Nat's first (orchestral) version, circa 1961. So uplifting!
[His Missouri obit reads in part]
----
Bob Krogstad passed away on April 10, 2015 in Cox South Hospital in Springfield Missouri. He was 64.
Bob studied piano and music composition at MSU. He was a well-respected figure in the music business as a composer, arranger and conductor, both in sacred and secular music. He was known as "Mr. Christmas" because of his beautiful arrangements of Christmas music.
'He served as musical director for both Natalie Cole and Mel Torme, for whom he has conducted over thirty symphony orchestras across North America and Europe, including those of Dallas, St. Louis, Atlanta, San Francisco, Winnipeg, Detroit and Houston, as well as the National Symphony, the Utah Symphony, the Minnesota Orchestra and the Orchestre Suisse Romande (Geneva). When he wasn't touring, he enjoyed writing his latest compositions in the warm, sunny climate of Scottsdale, Arizona.
