Elvis Presley Sings Final “Blue Christmas” Just Weeks Before Death

Elvis Presley performed “Blue Christmas” for the very last time just two months before he passed away.

The King sang his heart out in what would become the last time he ever performed this unforgettable holiday hit.

“Blue Christmas” is actually a cover song.

First recorded in 1948 by Doye O’Dell, “Blue Christmas” wouldn’t become an international smash hit or the irreplaceable Christmas staple until after Elvis Presley released his famous version in 1964.

Upon the release of his version, there is no doubt that Elvis cemented the song’s status as a classic of non-traditional Christmas songs and it quickly became a smash hit!

“Blue Christmas” has stood the test of time.

It’s clear that “Blue Christmas” has a legacy that will live on forever, thanks to many different singers’ covers of the iconic tune. Just this year, Kane Brown released a virtual duet with Presley. He even performed it at Presley’s home at the NBC special Christmas at Graceland.
