クリスマス・ソング(18)

2015/12/14
早いもので今年もクリスマスシーズンに突入しました。繁華街のイルミネーションから近所のコンビにまで街中がクリスマス一色になるこの時期。彼氏・彼女のいない人や何の予定もない人にとっては非常につらいもの。事実、ネットでは毎年「クリスマス中止のお知らせ」というパロディ画像がアップされるなど、「クリスマスがなくなってほしい」と願う人は一人や二人ではないはずです。
そこで今回は個人的に「クリスマスをなかったことにする方法」について考えてみたいと思います。

クリスマスが近づくとかならず現れるのが「ひがみ子ちゃん」。
“別にうらやましくなんかないし!”とか言ってるわりにはカップルの言動にきびしい。
ツイッターの裏アカウントで「ちっ! リア充爆発しちゃえ!」なんて発言しているようでは愛され女子への道も遠ざかる一方。
そもそもクリスマスは恋人たちの行事ではないんだし、まぁまぁ落ち着いて。
男子に痛い目で見られる前に、その思考はこうチェンジ!どうせなら寂しさも生かしていい女になっちゃお。

2、3年前から若い人の間で「クリぼっち」という言葉が流行ってるらしい。
アメリカ人だと、プロムナイトに誘ってくる彼氏がいない、という状況か?

This melody was first used for the 1972 Italian song “Le rose blu,” then adapted as the wordless choral piece “Soleado,” and eventually as the English-lyric “When A Child Is Born,” introduced by German singer Michael Holm (real name Lothar Walter). Posted here is his original full-length German single release (the U.S. 45 faded out earlier). The most-commonly-heard version of the song is the 1976 Johnny Mathis recording, which was a #1 best-seller in England

Arthur Prysock – A Working Man’s Prayer(1967/12)
2度目の引用。

Out of New York, this rare single was released for the holiday season in November of 1967. It is an obscure disc that was issued only that year as a single and never again. Pressed in a small quantity when originally released has made trying to locate one today a feat as they are few and far between.
Arthur Prysock who was born in 1929 and died in 1997, had been singing since 1944 but he is probably most recognized by his soulful, baritone voice over the 1980’s beer commercial,’Tonight, let it be Lowenbrau.”
‘A Working Man’s Prayer’ was written and originally recorded by Ed Bruce on Wand Records in 1964. Pat Boone recorded his version for Dot records in 1966 as did country & western legend, Harold Bradley on the tiny RPR label. This Verve Records version was Mr. Prysock’s only Christmas/Holiday recording, and what a powerful and moving record it is; just dripping with emotion.

Kissi Jacobs – Let It Be Him(1966/11)
B面は Soul Senders 名義の同曲インスト。
冒頭、『ジングル・ベル』を短く引用。

A delicious, sonic holiday rarity out of Philadelphia with absolutely no information to be found regarding songstress, Kissi Jacobs. The tune was composed by a’G. Jacobs’. Sharing the same surname as Kissi, it’s quite possible there is a connection. Issued in late autumn of 1966,’Let It Be Him’ with its rolling, cha-cha styled arrangement, features a wonderful vocal delivery by the elusive Miss Jacobs, in all of her very Ronnie Spectorish sounding glory. Assisted by harmonic, female background vocalists, Kissi convincingly pleads for Santa Claus to, “…..please surprise me. Put him under the tree…..”

The Hollyridge Strings – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas(1965/11)
from the album “Christmas Favorites”(1965)

(Capitol 5333 – single / Capitol ST-2404 – album) The flip side to the only single pulled from a wonderful Christmas LP issued for the Holiday season in 1965. Produced, arranged and conducted by Stu Phillips and credited to the Hollyridge Strings,’Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ was paired for 45 release with the only Stu Phillips original tune included in the LP,’Santa’s Got A Brand New Bag’. The A-side of the single as well as every single track on the LP are not to be missed as they are lavishly orchestrated and dripping with the magical sounds of the season. The moniker,’Hollyridge Strings’, was a Capitol Records property that dated back to 1961. There was no actual orchestra but rather a large group of interchangeable, cream of the crop Los Angeles session players hired for each subsequent session. Not only produced and arranged by Stu Phillips but Perry Botkin Jr., and Jimmie Haskell also oversaw several projects.
