Merry Christmas Baby/ Sleigh Ride

Originally released on 78rpm in 1948, Hollywood 1021, released in 1954, was the recording's first appearance on 45 rpm. The A side first charted in 1947, and this Hollywood reissue actually charted again in 1965, hitting #5 on the Bilozoard Christmas chart. On the flip is an instrumental of "Sleigh Ride" by Lloyd Glenn. This 1973 reissue, on the black Hollywood label with silver print, is by Gusto Records (which bought the King catalog), with the A side is credited to "Charles Brown with Johnny Moore's 3 Blazers."
