I have always been intrigued by the story of jazz musician Alfred Burt and the Christmas carols he wrote as gifts for a small circle of friends during his lifetime. Sadly, he would never know their popularity as he passed away before many of them became considered holiday classics. The Star Carol from 1954 is one of my favorites. It is a hauntingly beautiful carol, and Peggy Lee gives a wonderful interpretation. Enjoy!
