Title: A "Heavenly" Christmas Classic
Product review: Johnny Mathis' first Christmas album from 1958 has a timeless quality that many of today's Christmas recordings could only hope to achieve. I remember growing up and listening to his rendition of "What Child is This?" on a Canadian compilation produced by the once-mighty Eaton's stores. I always liked it, but when I heard his performances of "Sleigh Ride," "Winter Wonderland," and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," I knew this would be a winner. His rendition of "Silent Night" may be the best I've ever heard from any pop singer. What makes this collection great is that it draws on romance (of course), but more importantly, from gospel influences. I don't consider myself a big Mathis fan, but I can't deny that this CD will be played at my house every Christmas from now on.
