Other charted versions include <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_%26_the_Evergreens" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Danté & The Evergreens</a> (No. 107 on Billboard's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubbling_Under_Hot_100_Singles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles</a> in December 1960) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Wilson_(singer)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nancy Wilson</a> (No. 17 on Billboard's Christmas Singles chart in December 1965 and No. 24 on the same chart in December 1967).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Are_You_Doing_New_Year%27s_Eve%3F#cite_note-Whitburn2004-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[1]</a>Although it is typically performed in December, that was not the composer's intent. In A Most Remarkable Fella: Frank Loesser and the Guys and Dolls in His Life, his daughter Susan Loesser explains that "the singer, madly in love, is making a (possibly rash) commitment far into the future. ("Maybe it's much too early in the game. Ah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same – What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?") It always annoyed my father when the song was sung during the holidays".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Are_You_Doing_New_Year%27s_Eve%3F#cite_note-2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[2]</a> <ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ella_Fitzgerald" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ella Fitzgerald</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ella_Wishes_You_a_Swinging_Christmas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas</a> (1960)</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey_Lewis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ramsey Lewis</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_of_Christmas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sound of Christmas</a> (1961)</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Wilson_(jazz_singer)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nancy Wilson</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday%27s_Love_Songs/Today%27s_Blues" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yesterday's Love Songs/Today's Blues</a> (1963)</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lena_Horne" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lena Horne</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_from_Lena" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Merry from Lena</a> (1966)</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Rawls" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lou Rawls</a> – Merry Christmas Ho!
