It's apparently the most popular version of "Sleigh Ride" out there and is done by the same person who did "Jingle Bell Rock."

But who?

Thank you in advance.

The version of Sleigh Ride that I know was done by Andy Williams.

Is it the one that goes "Sleigh ride / take it easy" or the one that goes "Come on and take a sleigh ride [SLEIGH RIDE] / come on and keep me by your side / come on and take a SLEIGH RIIIIIIIDE" (wah wah wah wah wah wah). Cuz those rock.

The latter, for the record, is Edgar Winter Band. Or Johnny Winter. Someone wintry.

"Jingle Bell Rock" was made famous by Bobby Helms.

Is that the one with "ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling" a lot as background vocals through the song?

Although you could be descibing the Ronettes version as well.

There's yet another nugget of humor to be found here...

I was thinking the Ronnettes, myself.

The most popular instrumental version of "Sleigh Ride" is definately the one done by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. It's played everywhere. It's kind of sedate for my tastes, since the song has a melody which you can really drive. I prefer it to be performed like a freight train.

I've never thought there really was a definative vocal version. Several are good. Someone mentioned the Andy Williams' version. I enjoy that one a great deal.
