Mary Boy Child
"Mary Boy Child" is a Christmas song written by Jester Hairston in 1956 and it was first recorded by Harry Belafonte. An edited version was subsequently released as a single, topping #1 on the UK charts for 6 weeks from late November 1957 to early January 1958.
One of the most famous covers of the song is from the disco-group Boney M with their version of "Mary's Boy Child - Oh My Lord". This version returned the song to the top of the UK charts for 3 weeks in December 1978.
It has also been recorded by artistes including Nat King Cole, John Denver, The Brothers Four, Jim Reeves, Rolf Harris and many others.
