hi there

anyone know any songs - non-massively famous songs about winter/snow/freezing cold from this era
anyone have any thoughts?


thanks!

Slim pickings here...

the last 3 of these don't even have lyrics which you requested .. take your pick of 'Winter Weather' versions, there's a few out there. Also Fletcher Henderson has Freeze and Melt too on Classics. You may have to have Baby It's Cold Outside in your set after all

Winter Weather - Benny Goodman w/Peggy Lee - Classic 41-42
Winter Weather - Fats Waller - Classics 41
When Winter Comes - Artie Shaw - Classics 39 vol 2
The Rhythm of the Snowflakes - Dick Robertson & his Orchestra - New York Session Man
Alabammy Snow - Frankie Trumbauer - Classics 28-29
Freeze Out - Clarence Williams & his Orchestra - Classics 29-30
Freeze An' Melt - Eddie Lang - Classics 27-32

I like "Snow Flakes", recorded in 1944 by Cliff Bruner & His Texas Wanderers.

"from this era" and "non-massively famous" aren't exactly well defined, nor have you mentioned whether you only care about the lyrics or whether you want to DJ these for a room of dancers. Please try to be a little more specific.

Take a look at "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm". I like the Louis and Ella version from 1957, but there are many interpretations if you think that one is too well-known. Ella also recorded "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" in 1960, and I haven't heard it played much.

Not sure if this fits the bill, but there's a nice version of Winter Wonderland by Lew Stone - track 49 on this collection on eMusic -

hey lipi,

sorry didn't mention era - I'd say from just about anytime up through 50s
do actually just care bout lyrics.
and by non-massively famous, I mean songs not too many people know.

hope that helps

There's also a modern version of "Winter Weather" by Joe Williams.

There's an early Red Norvo on "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm".

And one by Dick Powell, too.

There's "Button Up Your Overcoat" from the 1920s, but most of the lyrics are not about cold weather. Snappy tune, though.

"Snow" from WHITE CHRISTMAS.
