NO. 24 0N THE 2015 CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN - BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE - A DIFFERENT VISUAL TAKE

The name Buble' reminds us how relevant great songwriting and great singing still are. The age of Big Band Crooning is not gone. It's alive and well. Michael Buble' has dedicated his career to making sure that we don't forget how fabulous this genre of music is. All of my friends in high school thought I was weird because I used to listen to the likes of Dorsey, Crosby and Sinatra along with Zeppelin and The Beatles. Well, I was not weird and this music is not passe'. No siree my fellow vagabonds - Great music is great music.

And no artist working today brings that absolute fact home quite like Michael Buble'. And he is even more relevant when he and some of the best arrangers on the planet present a classic like today's tune - BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE. With help from Tony Award winning Idina Menzel, and one of the coolest over dubbed videos you will ever see, he/they keep this classic tune fresh and cool. And, I hate to use the word, but, let's face it - these kids are downright cute!



Of course, it is a balmy 70 degrees in God's Country as I write this, but - hey - it's cold somewhere - so MERRY CHRISTMAS wherever you are.
