Jill Johnson pledges her troth with thick CW in “I Bring Christmas Back To You“. It’s a big task, so she’ll use both arms.
Wild Earp & The Free For Alls (feat. Sweet Sassy Molassey) ragtime the heavily poured holiday hopeful “New Year, New You“. Kazoo bridge! Slur along!
Island harmonies in “Happy New Year To You!” by The Qualities cast a somber tone to this toast.
AI bands have obtusely obvious brands, so give a tipple of the hat to Happy New Year and their finger-popping R+B-ish “Happy New Year to You“. It will make you think of… a song.
Ditto to Music Melody and their soft pop “This Year with You“. Is it live or is it music?
“What Are You Doing New Years Eve?” is an Ella staple, but was a hit for The Orioles originally. ‘Course, it was 1947 when Margaret Whiting first recorded it [concurrently with Kay Kyser & His Orchestra (Harry Babbitt, vocal)]. (Strangely, the phrase maybe it’s just too early in the game suggested Frank Loesser wanted this played in the summer.) Big big band.
