 When 20th Century Fox Records contracted with Simeone to make a Christmas album, Simeone hired many of the same singers that had sung in Halloran's version and made a near-identical recording with his newly created "Harry Simeone Chorale".It was released as a single in 1958, and later on the album, "Sing We Now of Christmas".This version became very successful, and has since become a popular Christmas song.
