What line did Frank Sinatra ask Martin to revise to make it more jolly ?
The lyrics Garland sang in " Meet Me in St. Louis " have been recorded with only slight variations by a number of artists , including Sinatra himself ( in 1950 and 1963 single recordings ) , Doris Day ( in " The Doris Day Christmas Album " ) , Ella Fitzgerald ( in " Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas " ) , James Taylor ( in " October Road " ) , The Pretenders in the first " A Very Special Christmas " compilation released in 1987 ( which benefits Special Olympics ) , and Luther Vandross ( in " This Is Christmas " ) .
