From Christmas week of '63, here's one from Jersey City's own Duprees that sounded like it came straight from the 50's. It had a doo-wop vocal sound with a big band arrangement, and was originally recorded by Joni James in 1952. It was probably one of the last gasps for street corner-type singing groups. The day after Christmas, the Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was released, and the world was never the same.
