Your favorite renditions of "The Christmas Song"

I thought of this last night when I was listening to Luther Vandross' rendition of "The Christmas Song" and was wondering what are some other good renditions (OTHER THAN NAT KING COLE) of the song?

Here are 2 of my favorites: Luther and Toni Braxton.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

The Gap Band has a verson, but it's not on Youtube. Technically it is, but the uploader added some beats to it. It's on this album:

not my favorite, but Paul released his new version of it last month:

I have 5 versions other than Nat King Cole's in my iTunes:


"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

-Cher, "Woman's World"

I've never seen this album before. I'm going to have to hunt it down. Thanks for posting.

Nothing can compete with Nat King Cole's but other than that one, I like The Whispers' version.
