sfrazier+FollowIndiana’s holiday hit: The story behind ‘Jingle Bell Rock’Every holiday season, “Jingle Bell Rock” fills the airwaves, but few realize it’s an Indiana original. Bobby Helms, born in Bloomington, transformed what he called a “bad song” into the first rock and roll Christmas classic back in 1957. The tune’s now a global staple, featured in movies like “Home Alone 2” and covered by stars from Brenda Lee to Lindsay Lohan. Helms insisted he and his bandmates made the song what it is, despite the official credits. Next time you hear it, remember: a Hoosier helped shape your holiday soundtrack! What’s your favorite version? #Entertainment #Music #IndianaProud00Share
