Love it or Hate it. Christmas music is huge part of our nostalgia and the holidays between Thanksgiving and New Years. And nothing says Christmas music like Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Brenda Lee and Johnny Mathis. The classics if you will, next up I share some of my favorite Christmas songs and we hear directly from one of the greatest voices in popular music history Johnny Mathis about his magical Christmas recordings

Christmas music is a constant in a world of change. Every year we hear it whether we like it or not. Look I get it. I get tired of certain songs that will remain nameless. I actually have so many great memories from that song, So i’ve nothing bad to say about it. I have to admit that there’s a special place in hell for this song. And then there’s this one that if someone even mentions the song title, it’s stuck in my head for weeks. I’ve also gained a special loathing for this song that i’ve sung with my wife for a party many years ago and we’ve been asked many times to perform since and we hate.

I do have a place in my heart for certain Christmas music though. Nat King Cole’s the Christmas song is such a magical and nostalgic piece of music and it always resonates with my soul. I’m also partial to Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, and I love the Carpenters Christmas album. Karen Carpenter has a voice of pure gold. I’m very much a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas Music, Which is why very excited to share a part of an interview I did with one of my favorite voices ever. especially at Christmas time, Mr. Johnny Mathis. I’ve had the honor of interviewing Mr. Mathis several times.

He is simply one of the kindest, most elegant, humble individuals I’ve ever talked with. He’s like royalty. He’s one of the biggest selling artists of all time. He’s one of the last of the greats of the fifties that is still living, His platinum voice is just stunning. The sound of innocence and grandeur. He is one of those classic voices of Christmas past, Like Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby, His voice is a reminder of those magical moments we had as children, counting the days until Christmas morning. the excitement of Christmas lights, decorating the tree, making out our lists for Santa, watching the rankin/bass specials like Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer and Charlie Brown Christmas. We all have those special Christmas memories,
