Vaughn Monroe: Let It Snow

I was looking for a Perry Como version of this, but after I listened to a bit of this clip, I'm beginning to think it was Vaughan Monroe's version I had in mind. I'll look for a video of Perry Como too.

For some reason, this is considered Christmas music rather than winter music. In the DC area, the snowy season consists of the last week in January and the first three weeks in February. Right now, in other words. True to form, there's snow coming down.

Enough chat. I'm warming up some cocoa on the stove. Enjoy.

When winter rolls around, musical thoughts turn to Vaughn Monroe's hit recording of Let It Snow. Vaughn's warm, deep, baritone voice makes his interpretation of this tune the best! In this video Vaughn performs his classic version of Let It Snow before a live audience in 1965.

1. For Christmas 1958, maybe, I received an RCA Victor All-American 5-tube AM radio.

All American Five

Vaughan Monroe was a pitchman for RCA Victor. He used to star in their TV commercials. There was one where he stood on a ladder and dropped a plastic cabinet RCA radio on the ground to show how unbreakable it was.

I never put my radio to the test, but I had full confidence in the words of Vaughan Monroe.

I had that radio a long time. I took it to college with me.

Here's another of his RCA commercials.

Singer/bandleader Vaughn Monroe used his strong, mellow voice for making hit records, and as the spokesman for RCA Victor in the late 1950's and into the 1960's. Here he's seen in two of these gems where he promotes Living Stereo records (playing his theme, "Racing with the Moon&quot and RCA radios.

2. The house next door to my grandparents had their windows open

And I heard Ghost Riders in the Sky belting away from their living room. I was not shy so I knocked on their door and asked who was singing. They invited me in and showed me the RCA Victor 78 with the name Vaughn Monroe on it. I was hooked. Ithink this was in 1949.
