Do You Hear What I Hear?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a Christmas song, with words and music written by Noel Regney and Gloria Shayne in 1962. It was originally recorded by Bing Crosby on Capitol Records on November 22, 1963 (the same day John Kennedy was assassinated) and released a week and a half later on a then-new Christmas album. Over the years, the song has been widely played on the radio. The original version has been available on numerous compilation Christmas albums and compact discs put out by Capitol Records.
The song was later covered by many different artists, including Andy Williams, The Carpenters, Gladys Knight, Perry Como, Copeland, Martina McBride, Delta Goodrem, Whitney Houston, Linda Eder, Destiny's Child, and Rosie O' Donnell (with special guest Elmo). There's an instrumental cover by Michael Angelo Batio. In recent years, the original version has become less popular than later covers. Also there are many different versions of the sheet music, including sheet music for piano, guitar, trumpet, and tuba.
