Harry Belafonte Christmas

by Harry Belafonte

Overview

Harry Belafonte Christmas features the legendary vocalist singing a number of Christmas-themed songs. Some of these songs -- "Twelve Days of Christmas," "I Heard Bells on Christmas Day," "Silent Night," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- will be familiar to all. However, most of the songs featured on this collection are fairly obscure, like "Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)," for example. Most recommended to Belafonte fanatics or to casual Belefonte listeners looking for some out of the ordinary Christmas songs. ~ Jason Birchmeier
