FTD 106 – Wonderful World Of Christmas

Elvis Sings The Wonderful World Of Christmas includes a number of seasonal standards (‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’, ‘The First Noel’, and ‘Winter Wonderland’) as well as such newer songs as ‘On a Snowy Christmas Night’ and the title track. The highlights of the album are a gritty six : minute version of Charles Brown’s hit ‘Merry Christmas Baby’ and the version of ‘Blue Christmas’ Elvis performed on his comeback television special.
