Review by Hugo Rubio Frias
Rosemary Clooney's album, In Songs From The Paramount Pictures Production Of Irving Berlins White Christmas, is a delightful collection of classic holiday tunes. Clooney's smooth and sultry vocals bring a new life to these familiar songs, making them feel fresh and exciting once again.
The album opens with the title track, "White Christmas," which Clooney delivers with a cozy, intimate feeling that perfectly captures the warmth and nostalgia of the holiday season. From there, she moves on to other classics like "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing" and "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep," which she infuses with a playful, jazzy energy.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sisters," which Clooney performs as a duet with her sister, Betty. The two harmonize beautifully together, creating a charming and whimsical rendition of this beloved song.

Notes
- This was one of two albums of songs from the movie, neither of which qualifies as an original soundtrack recording, that were released, 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 called Selections from Irving Berlin's White Christmas.
- Irving Berlin, Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye And Peggy Lee - Selections From Irving Berlin's White Christmas

wonderful.

This doesn't sound like a 1954 recording, unless it's a digital remaster.

Nice

The only "White Christmas" song I love is Bing's

I'm surprised this wasn't a significant hit at the time.

HOT STUFF
magnoliaworld1
She could sing this song without accompaniment. Her pitch and sense of rhythm are born in her. There's segments of her old TV shows stuff she sings, that sound better and explore her range a bit. more.than any of her "hits" ever did. Something flowing out of her can hold people in a certain way. Calm and clear. Her acting with Crosby is natural and affectionate. This is fun watching these clips and wondering why they are so lasting. Good writing and good performers. Thank you

Absolutely beautiful voice…So smooth and beautiful yet full of heartbreak. I love this song and her so much ❤️❤️

George Chakiris is total class

Rosemary was so gorgeous in that black dress with her blonde pageboy. And George Chakiris was the perfect addition as one of the backup dancers.

Mys favourite number too. Stunning visually, but what a voice!

George Chakiris [ best known as Bernado in the original West Side Story movie ] was barely 20-years-old here.

She was just made to sing this song. It’s absolutely stunning and perfect for her voice. And her outfit in this scene…my gosh gorgeous and glamorous
