Does anyone know the origin of this holiday classic? It was first sung by the legendary Judy Garland in the 1944 Hollywood film Meet Me in St. Louis in hopes that WW2 would finally come to an end.
There was (and, I believe, still is) a small choir of professional Welsh male singers (numbering around seven) called Only Men Aloud, the members of which helped to rehearse the local groups of boy singers in the organization's earlier days.
@@sgibson5797 I'm delighted to hear that. The entire point of Only Boys Aloud was to engender a sense of pride and team spirit among boys in areas with limited resources for them to get together. (I've nothing against female or mixed choirs but the original ethos would have been lost had the original purpose been relaxed.)
❤ merry Christmass for every one !,
I've enjoyed hearing these choirs through the years. It's a wonderful opportunity for these young men.
Guys always brilliant, will deffo make an effort to come see you next year❤
Stunning performance. ❤
Thank goodness the song sung in the way it was written. Not some sped up scretched American rendition. Boy allowed forever.
I love the harmonies 😊
Beautiful!! Question from the States, Is the group smaller now than it was when I first saw them on Britain's Got Talent?? Thanks. Happy New Years!!
I may be wrong but I think the 'Aloud' team now has several choirs, including a mixed choir.
Am berfformiad gwych! 🎉

Maybe change their name to boys/MEN aloud!!!

It is still comprised of boys/youth.
