Seasons Greetings from Perry Como

by Perry Como

Overview

Originally released in 1959, Season's Greetings from Perry Como is the crooner's first full-length holiday album. Produced by Charles Randolph Grean and Lee Schapiro, the record is a lush and relaxed affair with Como applying his velvet-smooth vocals to such classic Christmas songs as "(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays," "The Christmas Song," and "White Christmas." There's also an extended spoken word piece about the first Christmas featuring a medley of carols. Contributing warm backing textures to Como are the Mitchell Ayres Orchestra and the Ray Charles Singers. This is an essential holiday collection for fans of traditional pop. ~ Matt Collar
