About James Lord Pierpont
James Lord Pierpont (April 25, 1822 - August 5, 1893) was an American songwriter, arranger, organist, and composer, best known for writing and composing "Jingle Bells" in 1857, originally entitled "The One Horse Open Sleigh". He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and died in Winter Haven, Florida. His composition "Jingle Bells" has become synonymous with the Christmas holiday and is one of the most performed and most recognizable songs in the world. In 1880, Pierpont's son, Dr. Juriah Pierpont, M.D., renewed the copyright on "Jingle Bells" but he never made much money from it. It took considerable effort to keep his father's name permanently attached to the song after the copyright expired. From 1890 to 1954, “Jingle Bells” was in the top 25 of the most recorded songs in history. more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Pierpont_(musician) http://www.last.fm/search?q=The%20One%20Horse%20Open%20Sleigh&type=track
