" The Lemon Drop Kid"
"Silver Bells" is a classic
Christmas song, composed by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. The lyric is
unusual for a Christmas song in that it describes the festival in the
city and not a rural setting.
Silver Bells was first performed by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in the motion picture The Lemon Drop Kid, filmed in July-August 1950 and released in March 1951. The first recorded version was by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards, released by Decca Records in October 1950.
After the Crosby and Richards recording became popular, Hope and
Maxwell were called back in late 1950 to refilm a more elaborate
production of the song.
