Actually released with the title of “Scrooge” as it took liberties (aka artistic license) with the book’s story line. It did not do well in the States but, just like “It’s a Wonderful life” and “The Wizard of Oz”, time has proven the early critics wrong.

“A diary entry by Samuel Pepys on January 2, 1666 contains the earliest extant reference to the song. In it, he recalls the fun and games at a New Years party: “…but above all, my dear Mrs Knipp whom I sang; and in perfect pleasure I was to hear her sing, and especially her little Scotch song, of Barbary Allen.”
