Originally recorded in 1970, the song is one of Billboard‘s top 10-performing hits in holiday charts history, and one of the most popular Latin songs ever.
“It just came to me; there’s no rhyme or reason,” Feliciano recently told Billboard. “The first lyric came to me, then I put the English lyric into it, not realizing I had made it the only bilingual Christmas song ever in the world. I created a monster.”
