A classic Christmas song
In this video Anna D’Acunto (vocals) and Leo Ravera (piano) play Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The song was performed for the first time in 1944 by Judy Garland for the picture Meet Me in Saint-Louis. This tune is a classic Christmas song, but it’s different from others of the kind because it’s tender and melancholic.
