| We loved the Harry Simeon’s Chorale as kids and that is really still my preferred Christmas album—all of the traditional tunes. O Holy Night is my favorite; my all time favorite rendition is by Mahalia Jackson. All of her Christmas albums are amazing. |
This is one of my favorites too! I'm in NJ and it does not feel like Christmas until I hear this song. |
| Tied--Last Christmas by the amazing George Michael and the classic All I want for Christmas by Mariah. |
Mahalia Jackson has one of the top 5 voices of all time IMO. Her "Go Tell it on the Mountain" is about as pure and powerful as you can get. |

Once in Royal David's City by the soloist at the beginning of the annual carol service by the Kings College chapel choir at Cambridge. I got to be there live one year. Stunning setting and amazing singing.
My other favorite is the Coventry Carol. |
| Wonderful Christmas Time ... The party’s on...the feelin’s here.. |
|
Adeste Fideles (Latin/Italian O Come All Ye Faithful) |
| "What Christmas Means to Me" by John Legend ft. Stevie Wonder |
|
The Temptations - "Silent Night"
Just freakin' incredible. |
Finally, somebody gets it right. |
There can be no tie here here---George Michael wins. |
+1 |
|
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Silent Night |
Thank you! Love The Temptations!❤ |
Oh, yes!! My mom adored Mahalia Jackson, and we played her religious CDs practically 24/7 the last week of my mom's life in hospice care. |
