COLIN PAUL - IF EVERYDAY WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS

Around August 1965, Elvis friend and bodyguard Red West wrote the song "in about an hour and a half". He recorded it and released it the same year under his own label for the 1965 Christmas season, with little success. The following year, he gave the song to Elvis to record, as had been wanting to record another Christmas song. The backing track was recorded on June 10, 1966, at RCA Studio B in Nashville, with background vocals provided by Millie Kirkham, The Jordanaires, and The Imperials Quartet. Two days later, on June 12, Elvis recorded his vocals. The vocals were sung and recorded in a hotel room after an enthusiastic Elvis heard a copy of the backing track on a two track tape recorder. The song was released on November 15, 1966, as an RCA single, backed with "How Would You Like To Be" from the movie It Happened at the World's Fair. If Everyday Was Like Christmas was also included on the 1970 RCA Camden reissue of Elvis' Christmas Album collection, which was re-released by Pickwick Records in 1975 and by RCA in 1985. The album was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2011 with sales of over 10 million copies. This was Filmed and Recorded live at St Mary's Church, Eastwood, Nottingham on Monday December 8th 2025.
