.Merry Christmas City Travel Guides > Music > Classic Vocalists by: Bing Crosby August 18, 2008 Bing was an eclectic singer who dabbled extensively in many genres of music: Hawaiian, Irish, cowboy songs and of course, Christmas music, which is showcased here. This is an excellent introduction for those who don't have other Crosby CD's in your collection or who want to hear his "holiday" side. It contains his standard hits which have been recycled time and again on other anthologies. Most Bing-ologists will have all these songs in their collection, some of them many times over. But if you are new to Crosby, this is an acceptable choice and I guarantee that you will become hooked on Bing's magnificent voice. It's quite weak on his earlier work and it does contain some curious omissions, but then again, Bing didn't sing Christmas ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Merry Christmas |

.Snowfall Christmas Album City Travel Guides > Music > Classic Vocalists by: Tony Bennett August 11, 2000 I know, I know--it's heresy. Let me say first that I am a big Tony Bennett fan. The arrangements are out on the jazzy end of the scale, and if that is what you are looking for, you'll probably be happy. I like Christmas songs, even those done by jazz greats, done a bit more traditionally than this--hence, my disappointment. In addition, I didn't think Tony's voice sounded at its best on the recordings. To give you an idea of jazz Christmas recordings I like, I would HIGHLY recommend two: "An Oscar Peterson Christmas" (1995) and "Silent Nights, A Christmas Jazz Album" by Chet Baker and Christopher Mason (1986). >>See More Reviews & Details on Snowfall Christmas Album |

.A Perry Como Christmas City Travel Guides > Music > Classic Vocalists by: Perry Como September 25, 2001 I was looking for a Perry Como album after listening to his contributions on the Time-Life Christmas series and wanting to hear more. His voice seems absolutely made for Christmas music, and there is much here to delight you. The 10 minute story of Christmas is very interesting and moving as is his rendition of Ave Maria. He also has several lighter numbers, Santa Claus is Coming to Town in particular is an excellent example of music from a different genre. I highly recommend this CD, but with one word of caution. There are a number of songs that are not Christmas songs, and it has gotten to the point that I just skip past them (a nice part about CD's!). Some of them are forgivable - Turn Around and Bells of St. Mary's both work just fine, but Father ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on A Perry Como Christmas |

.When My Heart Finds Christmas City Travel Guides > Music > Classic Vocalists by: Harry Jr. Connick August 11, 2000 Unlike some others here, I am not a huge Harry fan. That being said, this is one of my favourite holiday discs. Harry adds freshness to some of the classics and the original songs are funny and charming and nice. An excellent buy! >>See More Reviews & Details on When My Heart Finds Christmas |

.Harry For The Holidays City Travel Guides > Music > Classic Vocalists by: Harry Jr. Connick October 28, 2003 About 30 seconds into Harry's version of "Frosty the Snow Man" I started slamming my head against my George Foreman Grill, just hoping the music would stop. And it didn't get any better by the time "Blue Christmas" rolled around, because then I started brushing my teeth with an egg-beater. Merry Christmas, Harry. Keep on torturing us with your merry brand of jubilee, buddy. >>See More Reviews & Details on Harry For The Holidays |

.Best Of Ella And Louis On Verv City Travel Guides > Music > Classic Vocalists by: Ella & Louis Armstrong Fitzgerald September 16, 1997 This is a truly fantastic collection of classics and there's pretty much nothing I can add to it...it's untouchable. May I recommend lighting some candles, clearing off the floor and swinging away the night with your lovey dovey, socks optional. I mean, this is not a pathetic waste of money or time... you deserve the best, and it doesn't get any better than Ella and Louey!!! >>See More Reviews & Details on Best Of Ella And Louis On Verv |

.Dino: The Essential Dean Martin City Travel Guides > Music > Classic Vocalists by: Dean Martin June 15, 2004 My girlfirend is Italian and her father was a professionnal musician. When we first listened to this cd, we just could not stop! One great hit after another. One song brought tears to my girlfriend's eyes as it was a song that her father used to sing to his daughters to put them to sleep (Returna me). Wonderful, magical moments. Great cd! >>See More Reviews & Details on Dino: The Essential Dean Martin |

I highly reccomend it for entertaining. >>See More Reviews & Details on Christmas With The Rat Pack |
