Al’s Favorite Christsmas Songs
I'm sort of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas music. Every year I go to the local music store and buy a couple of new selections. I'm always open to different sounds. My current collection ranges from reggae to Mahalia Jackson. I just load up the CD changer and set it on shuffle. But if I had to choose my all time five favorite songs this is my list. They're in no specific order;
- 1
The Christmas Song
Mel TormeNo one can sing this song like the Velvet Fog, no one.
