Because he has good taste.

"The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" is another favorite of mine.

I'm not a fan of traditional holiday music, so unconventional songs like "Homo Christmas" I really like.

Icicle said:

Love that one. Many fans might think it's a disco Christmas...nope! It's a very AC sounding album, excellent production and some of her best singing!

A few years ago I found that at Meijer in their CHristmas Bargin bin....I think I own like three copies of just that one and one copy of the remastered verison, which is titled "20th Century Masters..." somehting or another. Same picture and tracklisting, just that border around it.

Another great one is Elvis' "White Christmas", which includes both of his CHristmas discs and some other holiday tracks:

I'll look for that one. I tend to buy one Chirstmas disc a year. I was thinking about getting Anita's from last year....I'm surprised I don't have it, actually. Actually, I have a coupon for $4 off a CD and a good discount coming up tommorrow ...I might get that one if that they have it.

I LOVE Anita Baker, but this album was not what i expected....

Icicle said:

I know, it's differnt than most of her previous work but still classy. it took a few spins to get into but now I really can enjoy it

AlexdeParis said:

Aw, shucks.


Yes, indeed. It just so happens to be an outstanding jazz album in its own right.

Christmas Jollies by the SalSoul Orchastra

Dancelot said:

If you want to hear Anita Baker sing christmas songs, get the compilations "Jazz to the world" and "The holiday collection vol. 1". She sings "The christmas song" and "Have yourself a merry little christmas", classic Baker...

...

I get sentimental at christmas, so a lot of these are favorites because I grew up hearing them...

But before anything, I have to hear Donny Hathaway singing, "This Christmas"!!

This is the album with the definitive version of "My favorite things"

Icicle said:

Which one? Diana Ross and the Supremes' version?

namepeace said:

I was thinking more of Tony Bennett...

Icicle said:

Yeah, Tony's album turned me on to Robert Farnon (R.I.P.), I loved his big band and orchestral arrangements...
