Merry Christmas Baby on the album "Elvis Sings the Wonderful World of Christmas", every one sung with appalling sincerity and humility, one could find Elvis tom-catting his way through six blazing minutes of 'Merry Christmas, Baby,' a raunchy old Charles Brown blues. ... If [Presley's] sin was his lifelessness, it was his sinfulness that brought him to life". ~Source Wikipedia
