Jingle Bells by Sammy Davis Jr. --- From the CD Christmas With The Rat Pack ... Composed by American songwriter James Lord Pierpont (25 April 1822 - 5 August 1893) ... Originally published in 1857 under the title: The One Horse Open Sleigh ... Re-published in 1859 under the revised title Jingle Bells, or the One Horse Open Sleigh. The song has since passed into public domain and is known simply as Jingle Bells ... Although it became a Christmas carol, it was not written by Pierpont with that in mind. His inspiration was the winter sleigh races that were being held on Salem Street in Medford, Massachusetts. He lived in Medford at the time. https://youtube/watch?v=OXUSdHAVNoM
