Posted on November 30, 2023 by Stella

“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is a song introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, which has become more common than the original. The song was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane.

    That really was interesting. I didn’t realize that they made changes like that after the song comes out.
