Summary: Perry Como Christmas album
Comment: Very pleased with the product, price and speed of delivery. Would do business with you again
Customer Rating:
Summary: An excellent addition to anyone's Christmas music collection
Comment: I am not of the generation who would remember seeing Perry Como during his heyday in the late 50's and 60's, but anyone who likes to listen to people who can actually sing will not be disappointed. I prefer the older Christmas carols and songs (before the 1970's) and Como was a legend even in his own time for his vocal talents and his magnificent performances. I prefer listiening to the likes of Crosby, Ames, Como, Williams, Goulet, etc, before just about anyone of the newer singers, many of which do have good voices, but evidently would rather sing in any language other than English, presumably to appease the politically overcorrect thought police. If you enjoy listening to old fashioned Christmas music performed by a master, you will enjoy this CD.

Summary: My Favorite Voice
Comment: I got to Perry Como rather late in life, but regard his voice as being among the most beautiful that I've ever heard. This is particularly the case for one of my all-time favorite songs--his version of O Holy Night. Honestly, when I first heard it I felt as if God had walked into the room. His Ave Maria is also superb in my mind. I even prefer his recording over those of the famous opera singers. Overall, there's not a song on here that isn't great. Perry Como and the Charlie Brown CD sit at the top of my treasured Christmas list.

Summary: Perfect Perry!
Comment: Perry Como's smooth voice and talent shine on this album. Great for Christmas parties or just for listening. I highly recommend this album. A talent not to be replaced.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Christmas with Mr. C.
Comment: A bountiful collection of Christmas favorites. Though the arrangements are uninspired, there's no denying the creaminess of Mr. C.'s voice. Sure to be favorite for those who grew up with this gentlemanly entertainer.

Editorial Reviews:
|
A Perry Como Christmas is the audio equivalent of a Norman Rockwell painting. Like Nat "King" Cole and Bing Crosby, whom Como fondly emulated, Como defined for many Americans what the holidays sounded like through the '50s and '60s. With the advent of widespread television, Como practically became the man for wholesome holiday pleasure and entertainment. Greatest Christmas Songs will reestablish that fact for many who've put on a Como record every season. This collection brings together many of his classic seasonal recordings and some tracks even collectors will be delighted to find, including "Some Children See Him," recorded in 1954 but left off The Perry Como Christmas Album. At 21 cuts, complete with engaging liner notes, this is an essential collection of Como Christmas greats that the immortal baritone presents for the end of the century and the beginning of another. Call it a pop-cultural milestone that will never go out of style. --Martin Keller
