Product Review

Legendary, Grammy-winning arranger/conductor Johnny Mann and his prolific Singers apply their bright, smooth, spirited Sixties sound to this excellent Christmas collection. This recording was a big hit when first released in 1967 but ever the perfectionist, Johnny decided in later years to re-record the album with new singers and fresh arrangements. Traditional carols like As Lately We Watched, Lo How a Rose, Deck the Halls, O Little Town of Bethlehem, O Christmas Tree, The First Noel of course are here, wonderful and sincere; but we especially like lesser known tunes such as Johnny Bring The Pine Tree In, Sleep, Sleep Jesus, Sleep' and the lovely Susan Belle.
