“Auld Lang Syne” began as a folk song in medieval Scotland. Its best-known version was written by poet Robert Burns in 1788, and the title translates as “old long since.” The song looks back on good times shared and hopes to meet again. Those feelings made it the natural anthem for New Year’s Eve. Band leader Guy Lombardo made it a national tradition, broadcasting New Year’s Eve celebrations from the 1920s and recording his definitive version in 1939.

By 1999, music store owner George Reynoso had heard years of requests for an updated version. Working with Grammy-winning producers, he created an album of the song in several styles, with and without countdowns, plus an all-new version, “Anthem to the New Year.”

Today, “Auld Lang Syne – The Ultimate New Year’s Eve Celebration” is the #1 contemporary version of the song in the world, and we’re proud to be part of your celebration, wherever you are.
