Written in 1948 by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson
Elvis can sing can sing rock n roll, Elvis can sing country, Elvis can sing blues, and Elvis can sing Christmas. My top 25 favourite Christmas songs would not be what it is without the King of Rock and Roll.
Originally recorded in 1957 by Elvis, but was not released until 1964, and appeared in Elvis' 1965 movie G.I. Blues . Elvis first performed Blue Christmas as part of his 1968 television special.
Like a few other songs on my list Blue Christmas does not contain the merriest of lyrics; however, Elvis' song of unrequited love on Christmas surely would make most top 25 lists.
Martina McBride miraculously showed up in 2008 to join Elvis for a pleasant "countried up" version of the song giving the song an un-needed resurgence.
