Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Ella Fitzgerald’s Swinging Christmas album has always been at the top of my holiday playlist. This track is one of the reasons.

To say that Dolly is an angel in my life is an understatement. Thank you Dolly for being one of the best parts of the soundtrack of my life. One of my earliest memories is hearing you on the radio in my mother’s 1967 Buick. Thankfully you are still with me to this day and hopefully for many more years to come.

She’s still rockin’
Brenda Lee originally recorded this tune when she was only 13 in 1958. That initial release in 1958 did not sell well and so it was re-released in 1959 and flopped again. However in 1960 when Decca records tried again it took off, eventually selling more than 5 million copies.
In November of this year she has re-released it with this new video. She is a firecracker!

Oh by the way, that saxophone is being played by none other than Boots Randolf himself.
