1966 single by Elvis Presley
"If Every Day Was Like Christmas" is a song written in 1965 by Red West and popularized by his friend and employer Elvis Presley in 1966 when he recorded and released it as a single.[1][2] Presley released it again in 1970 on his Camden Elvis` Christmas Album.
Background
Around August 1965, Presley`s friend and bodyguard Red West wrote the song "in about an hour, and [sic] hour and a half".[1] He recorded it and released it the same year under his own label for the 1965 Christmas season, with little success.[2] The following year, he gave the song to Presley to record, as Presley had been wanting to record a Christmas song.[1] The backing track was recorded on June 10 1966 at RCA Studio B in Nashville, with background vocals provided by Millie Kirkham, The Jordanaires, and The Imperials Quartet.[3][4] Two days later, on June 12, Presley`s vocals were added.[2] According to West, the vocals were sung and recorded in a hotel room after an enthusiastic Presley heard a copy of the just-recorded backing track on a two-track tape recorder.[1][2] The song was released on November 15, 1966 as an RCA Victor 45 single, 47-8950, backed with "How Would You Like To Be" from the movie It Happened at the World`s Fair.[3][4]
The song was included on the 1970 RCA Camden reissue of Elvis` Christmas Album collection, which was re-released by Pickwick Records in 1975 and by RCA in 1985. The album was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2011 with sales of over 10 million copies.
