Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally released as a 78-rpm compilation and repackaged for the 12-inch LP era, this definitive holiday collection encapsulates the golden age of American popular vocal music. Anchored by the best-selling single 'White Christmas', the legendary crooner's incredibly warm, comforting baritone is perfectly supported by the Andrews Sisters and lush, traditional studio orchestrations. It remains a towering, culturally monumental touchstone of the mid-century seasonal repertoire.
