188

Take a trip back to the jazzy holiday spirit of the 1950s with I Want a Doll, a delightful Christmas song penned by BMI award-winning songwriter Charles Nathan (1921–2012). This Swing-style gem, newly recorded under the skillful direction of Greg Nathan, combines nostalgia with a fresh twist, making it a standout addition to any festive playlist.

Featuring the dynamic vocals of Donna Courtell and the soulful jazz tenor sax of Paul Biondi, I Want a Doll blends clever lyrics, a swinging rhythm section, and an irresistibly catchy arrangement. The track also includes standout contributions from Gus Russell on piano, Don Elkington on drums and percussion, Don Latarski on guitar, and Greg Nathan himself on bass. Together, they deliver a polished yet playful performance crafted to “make the season bright.”

Keep your ears peeled for the sleigh bells’ cheeky nod to Jingle Bells toward the end—sure to bring a smile with every listen. One reviewer has already predicted that I Want a Doll is destined to become part of the Christmas music canon, and it’s easy to hear why.

Whether you’re decking the halls or simply enjoying some festive tunes by the fire, I Want a Doll is guaranteed to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of swing to your holiday season.
