The song is entitled, “Christmas Gift” and the guy’s voice sounds familiar; I’m sure it’s someone fairly famous for his time. Anyway no year listed on the album, but it is marked “RCA Victor LPM 1141” and on the ablum it says the song was composed by “jester hairston, well-known negro choral director and arranger”. the album is likely from the 40’s or 50’s (it used ‘new orthphonic high fidelity recording’)Anyway, can you help me in terms of how to fin out who the performer was on this song for this album?
