Jester Hairston is credited with writing the music and lyrics for the Christmas song "Mary's Boy Child". Hairston, a songwriter and choral conductor, composed the song in the early 1950s for a concert by Walter Schumann's Hollywood Choir. He used a calypso rhythm and added new Christmas lyrics to a melody he had written earlier.
HE is the reason for the season! Hear the melodic voice from soprano songstress, Deadra Griffeth serenade listeners with this beautiful rendition of "Mary's Boy Child".
