Product Description
"When A Child Is Born" is a popular Christmas song. The original melody was "Soleado", a tune from 1974 by Ciro Dammicco (alias Zacar), composer for Italy's Daniel Sentacruz
Ensemble, and
Dario Baldan Bembo. The tune was based on Damicco's earlier tune "Le rose
blu" published in 1972. The English language lyrics were written a few years later by Fred Jay
(Friedrich Alex Jacobson). They do not make specific mention of Christmas. Fred
Jay's lyrics have been sung by many artists, most successfully by Johnny Mathis in 1976, whose version was the Christmas
number one of
that year in the UK. [Wikipedia]
