Merry Christmas Darling
"Merry Christmas Darling" is a Christmas song by The Carpenters, written by Richard Carpenter and Frank Pooler and originally recorded in 1970.〔http://oldies.about.com/od/70spopandsoul/p/carpenters.htm〕 It was first available on a 7" single that year (A&M Records 1236), and was later reissued in 1974 (A&M 1648) and again in 1977 (A&M 1991). The single went to number one on ''Billboard's'' Christmas singles chart in 1970, and did so again in 1971 and 1973.
In 1978, The Carpenters issued their ''Christmas Portrait'' album, which contained a new remix of "Merry Christmas Darling". The original 1970 mix continued to be used for all single releases, however. The major difference between the 1970 and 1978 versions is a newly-recorded vocal by Karen Carpenter on the latter. Richard Carpenter himself calls the original recording one of his sister's very best. The original single version of the song can be found on the compilation albums ''From the Top'' and ''The Essential Collection: 1965–1997''.
''Billboard'' magazine did not display Christmas singles on the Hot 100 in 1970. This song just missed the top 40 in ''Cash Box''.
