From Mr. Sarnoff on down, they tried to sell it to agencies. They could have dropped it after the first thirteen weeks. Shows that made more money than mine were dropped. They offered me a new time at 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays on a cooperative basis, but I decided not to take it. I feel played out.

Cole's success at Capitol Records, for which he recorded more than 150 singles that reached the Billboard Pop, R&B, and Country charts, has yet to be matched by any Capitol artist. [75] His records sold 50 million copies during his career. [76] His recording of " The Christmas Song" still receives airplay every holiday season, even hitting the Billboard Top 40 in December 2017. [77] In 2020, Cole was inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. [78] See also [ edit ] I grew up exposed to multiple religions. My dad’s side of the family were foot-washing Italian Catholics, while my mom’s side were Jews from New York. In college, my mom was reborn as a Christian, and for me as a kid, Easter with Nonno Giuseppe was as big of a deal as going to seder at temple with my Popi Mel. Now on every Christmas morning, my mom and I listen to A Christmas Album by Barbra Streisand, a collection of spectacular renditions of yule-time classics by not just a Jewish woman, but one of the most notable and beloved Jews in show business. Moments like Babs’ broadway pizzaz on “Jingle Bells?” to her church choir-worthy range on “Sleep In Heavenly Peace (Silent Night)” to her impeccable singing in Latin on “Gounod’s Ave Maria,” have made A Christmas Album one of the top 10 Christmas albums of all time, selling over 5.3 million copies. And for my mom and I, the juxtaposition of faiths across each of the album’s splendid 33 minutes is a constant reminder of accepting and respecting every person’s God-given right to believe and worship whatever and however they’d like. Nothing is more fitting over the holidays than that. —Adrian Spinelli But before that final recording of "The Christmas Song," Cole's first and only Christmas album arrived in 1960. (He did, however, record numerous Christmas singles over the years.) The Magic of Christmas was arranged and conducted by Carmichael and produced by Lee Gillette; three years later, a new edition was issued under the name The Christmas Song incorporating the '61 version. ("God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" was dropped to accommodate the addition.)

On April 10, 1956, Cole was assaulted on stage during a concert in Birmingham, Alabama, with the Ted Heath Band while singing the song "Little Girl". Having circulated photographs of Cole with white female fans bearing incendiary boldface captions reading "Cole and His White Women" and "Cole and Your Daughter" [50] three men belonging to the North Alabama Citizens Council assaulted Cole, apparently attempting to kidnap him.

Since many radio stations in the US adopt a format change to Christmas music each December, many holiday hits have an annual spike in popularity during the last few weeks of the year and are retired once the season is over. [11] In December 2011, Billboard began a Holiday Songs chart with 50 positions that monitors the last five weeks of each year to "rank the top holiday hits of all eras using the same methodology as the Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay, and sales data", [12] and in 2013 the number of positions on the chart was doubled, resulting in the Holiday 100. [13] A handful of Cole recordings have made appearances on the Holiday 100 and are noted below according to the holiday season in which they charted there. In 1999, Christina Aguilera recorded a version and included it on her album, My Kind of Christmas (2000). [47] The song found critical and commercial success and peaked at number eighteen on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart; the second highest position for the song on the chart after the original. [47] Aguilera's cover also reached number seventy-two on the Hot 100 Singles Sales 2000 year-end chart, compiled by Billboard. [48] a b Crawford, Trish (June 12, 2015).
