New Jersey.

NEW YORK (AP) — Her memories of recording “Rockin’
Around the Christmas Tree” are a little hazy.
She remembers the producer placing decorations around
the studio and blasting the air conditioner on a warm
Nashville day to create a holiday spirit. The musicians,
she recalls, nailed it in a couple of takes.

Brenda Lee ( Mae Tarpley) is 81 years young today.
Michael Cole, who most famously portrayed Pete Cochran,
one of the three young undercover cops on ABC’s crime
drama Mod Squad (1968-1973), died on Tuesday at the
Medical Center in Tarzana, California. No cause of death
has been revealed at this time.
Cole was the last surviving member of the original cast.
