"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", also known as simply "Let It Snow", is a song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945 in Hollywood, California, during a heatwave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions. The song was first recorded that fall by Vaughn Monroe, was released just after Thanksgiving, and became a hit by Christmas.
Vaughn Monroe version
In the U.S., the Monroe record charted higher—by several of Billboard magazine's measures—than has any successor. For 15 weeks, through 30 March 1946, it appeared in its "Honor Roll of Hits: The Nation’s Top 15 Tunes." In the "Songs with Greatest Radio Audiences" category, it was listed for 16 weeks (again through 30 March 1946). Of Billboards "Top 15 Most Played on the Air," the Monroe recording charted for 13 weeks—five of them at #1 in January–February 1946. In Billboards "Best Selling Popular Retail Records" tabulation, it spent 13 weeks in the top ten (three weeks as #1). Sheet music sales were similarly high during this period, spending 10 weeks in Billboards top ten through 23 March 1946.
Frank Sinatra version
American singer Frank Sinatra released a version as a single in 1950 that featured The B. Swanson Quartet.
