Jo Elizabeth Stafford (November 12, 1917 – July 16, 2008) was an American traditional pop music singer, whose career spanned five decades from the late 1930s to the early 1980s. Admired for the purity of her voice, she originally underwent classical training to become an opera singer before following a career in popular music, and by 1955 had achieved more worldwide record sales than any other female artist. Her 1952 song "You Belong to Me" topped the charts in the United States and United Kingdom, becoming the second single to top the UK Singles Chart, and the first by a female artist to do so.

With the commercial and critical success of his tribute to Frank Sinatra on his album Tremonti Sings Sinatra, Mark Tremonti returns with an album of holiday standards - Christmas Classics Old & New. The album features numerous holiday favorites as well as an original Christmas song penned by Tremonti - a first in the immense musical catalog of the GRAMMY® award winning songwriter/singer/guitarist. "Christmas Morning" - the original composition from Mark - talks about the excitement of waking up on Christmas morning and fits in perfectly alongside any traditional holiday classic.

He recorded it as a tribute to one of his favourites, Frank Sinatra’s classic In The Wee Small Hours. Rick referred to it as his “labour of love,” a fresh and modern approach to the original 1955 album by Sinatra.
