Introduction "Mary's Boy Child" Origins (1956): Jester Hairston, an American composer and choral conductor, originally wrote this song's melody in a Calypso rhythm for a birthday party. The original title at the time was "He Pone and Chocolate Tea." Became a Christmas Song: Hairston later changed the lyrics to a Christmas theme after being asked by Walter Schumann to write a new song for his choir. Popularity Through Harry Belafonte: The song became very popular after being recorded by Harry Belafonte in 1956. This version became the first song to sell over one million copies in the UK. Boney M. Version (1978): One of the versions we hear most often today (especially in shopping malls or on the radio at Christmas) is the disco version by the group Boney M., which combines it with the song "Oh My Lord."
