Jimmy Boyd, R. I. P.

Jimmy Boyd, Who Sang of Seeing Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Dies at 70 - Obituary (Obit) - NYTimes.com: "Jimmy Boyd, who as a skinny, red-headed kid of 12 recorded “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” then reprised it dozens of times on television variety shows in the 1950s and went on to an acting career in movies and television, died on Saturday in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 70 and lived on a sailboat moored in Santa Monica Bay."

Thanks to Jeff Meyerson for the link.

This is just a little odd, since Molly Bee, who also had a hit with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," died just a little over a month ago. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/12/arts/music/12bee.html
