Song Of The Day 12/22/2012: Little Cindy - "Happy Birthday Jesus"

On the ninth day of Christmas, I give you the creeps. I came across this nugget from 1959 on a Christmas music compilation shepherded by John Waters (see what I did there?). Can't find any solid biographical info on Little Cindy, but the fun story I came upon was that she was a child evangelist who claimed to be five years old, when in fact she was eight. If you have to lie about your age when you're eight years old, then vanity culture has spun out of control. The story also goes that she had visions. Fair enough.
