Davis' "The Little Drummer Boy" was first recorded in 1955 as
"Carol of the Drum"
Modern-day
"Little Drummer Boy" reenactment actor, from the show
"Data-Driven Drumming."
"The
Little Drummer Boy" (originally known as "Carol of the Drum")
is a popular Christmas
song written
by the American classical music composer and teacher Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941.[1] It was recorded in 1955 by the
Trapp Family Singers[2] and further popularized by a 1958 recording
by the Harry
Simeone Chorale.
This version was re-released successfully for several years and the song has
been recorded many times since.[3]
In
the lyrics the singer relates how, as a poor young boy, he was summoned by the Magi to the nativity where, without a gift for
the infant Jesus, he
played his drum with the Virgin Mary's
approval, remembering "I played my best for Him" and "He smiled
at me."
