An overlooked cover tune CLXXXVII

For years, I've thought that Hagood Hardy's easy listening rendition of "Silent Night," which he titled "Silent Night, Holy Night," is the best one I've ever heard.  I was pleasantly surprised earlier this month when I heard his instrumental rendering of John Paul Young's 1978 hit, "Love Is In The Air," on SiriusXM's Escape channel.  I had never imagined a vibraphone carrying the melody, but it works while retaining the original version's carefree verve.

I wonder how many couples have played Hardy's version at their weddings.
