"The Wall" was originally recorded by Shirley Bassey at a 3 song New York session on December 2, 1956 which was produced by Mitch Miller. Inexplicably, Shirley's original remained in the can until it was pulled by her record company Philips for a 1959 Bassey album "The Bewitching Miss Bassey" (Philips 7325). Miller used a similar arrangment for Eileen Rogers' February 1957 version on Columbia. Patti Page's version of the song for Mercury was recorded at Capitol Recording Studio, Hollywood on February 1, 1957.

@borden1957 I would love to feature Christmas songs, but I honestly don't have too many unfortunately. When I do come across one, I usually just post it when I'm featuring the year it was recorded in, no matter what time of year it is, haha. They don't come up too often in my collection.

Another very good forgotten gem. Great work. By the way will you post some Christmas related songs from all the decades starting early November? I'm sure you must have some real rare ones.
