Well, considering Jimmy Boyd's recording career essentially lasted from 1953 (when he was 12) to 1967, this is quite a best-of. Here are all the youngster's big smash hits, from "Dennis the Menace" with Rosemary Clooney, to his duets with Frankie Laine including, "The Little Boy and the Old Man," "Poor Little Piggy Bank," "Tell Me a Story," and much, much more. Included in the package are the previously unreleased "I'm Glad I'm Not" and, of course, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (over 60 million copies sold). For Jimmy Boyd fans, this may not be the be-all and end-all, but there is more than enough here for anyone interested in checking out what the fuss was about in the early '50s (and it was quite a ruckus). ~ Thom Jurek Producer: Dan Rivard   Compilation Appearances Honor-A Benefit For The Honor First Christmas Record For Chi (Bonus Tracks) Santa's Greatest Hits Christmas At Rao's: Celebratio 1953 British Hit Parade Vol 11:vintage Christmas Santa's Greatest Hits0905 Christmas Number 1's Joy Of Christmas Ballads Blues Songs Hits Jazz 1949-58   Technical Info Release Date : 05/09/2006 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 7634 Label : Collectables Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00090431763421    Related Videos In Search of Solid Ground...
