Thanks to “The Sound Of Music” and Julie Andrews, this became a Christmas standard. Here’s an interesting arrangement by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. This was their last single to even chart in the upper half of the Top 50. Herb dissolved the group soon afterward to concentrate on running A&M Records. He was the first person to have a #1 vocal (1968’s “This Guy’s In Love With You”) and a #1 instrumental (1979’s “Rise”).
