UK Number 40s: Keith Harris & Orville - White Christmas (1985)

 


Keith Harris & Orville needs no introduction and the song "White Christmas" needs no introduction either. This record in particular perhaps does.

They were well known on the TV and in 1982 capitalised on their success by releasing a novelty record called "Orvilles Song" at Christmas time which made number 6.

The following year they did the same again with "Come To My Party" but missed the Top 40. They sat out 1984 but in 1985 had one last crack with this record.

It was the 4th version to make the Top 40, the other 3 came from Mantovani, Pat Boone and Bing Crosby. It reached its number 40 peak the week after Christmas and then afterwards they stuck with the TV.
