Irving Berlin's White Christmas Irving Berlin's White Christmas Irving Berlin's White Christmas was an LP album of songs by Rosemary Clooney from the movie "White Christmas," released by Columbia Records in 1954 (CL 6338). The album was also released as a set of four 78-rpm records at the same time. This was one of two albums of songs from the movie, neither of which qualifies as an original soundtrack recording, because Bing Crosby (who had a recording contract with Decca Records) and Rosemary Clooney (with a Columbia contract) could not record together. This album, therefore, was issued by Columbia, while Decca issued an album
Christmas Eve with Johnny Mathis Columbia Choir. "The Christmas Waltz" was written for Frank Sinatra and debuted as the flipside to his 1954 cover of "White Christmas". "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" was written for "The Andy Williams Show" and first appeared on "The Andy Williams Christmas Album" in 1963. "We Need a Little Christmas" was first performed in the 1966 Broadway musical "Mame". "Where Can I Find Christmas?" comes from the 1973 TV special "The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas", and the medley of "Every Christmas Eve" and "Giving (Santa's Theme)" was part of the soundtrack of the 1985 film "".
