Editorial Review:
From Amazon.com:
When was the last time you heard collard greens being sung about in a Christmas song? Probably never, unless you're a Run DMC fan, or were wise enough to hop on the Very Special Christmas tip. The rappers' contribution to this benefit collection is probably the highlight, although traditional songs covered by now-traditional artists like the Pretenders ('Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas') provide the majority of the material here. Eurythmics turn in a suitably chilly 'Winter Wonderland,' Stevie Nicks sings a beautifully haunting 'Silent Night,' and Whitney Houston proves again that she's every woman with 'Do You Hear What I Hear'--that is, every woman with a voice strong enough to do the song justice. 'Santa Baby,' Madonna's contribution, isn't as sultry as it could be, but there's more fun thanks to hell-on-heels, the Pointer Sisters and Bon Jovi. --Steve Gdula

- Make every Xmas SPECIALI bought this cd when it first came out (15+ years ago????). I play it gleefully EVERY year without fail. I now have all of the Very Special Xmas series, but this first one is by far the very best one. Every track is perfect. I cannot recommend this collection highly enough. Beats all other Christmas compilations with ease. I NEVER tire of it - brilliant stuff!

- A very strong collectionMost of these songs were specially recorded for this charity album and some of the performances are outstanding. It's hard to pick out highlights when there are so many great performances, but here are a few.
I love Madonna's cover of the Eartha Kitt classic, Santa baby. Do you hear what I hear was recorded early in Whitney Houston's career when I enjoyed her music. Santa Claus is coming to town is performed with great enthusiasm by the Pointer sisters.

- Excellent! A really wonderful mix of Christmas songs.My family know that Christmas has truly arrived when this album goes on the CD player! We bought this CD abroad about 7 or 8 years ago, and have listened to it over and over again with pure delight. I wasn't aware that you could purchase the CD in the UK, and I will recommend it wholeheartedly to friends who have enjoyed listening to my copy.
The Pointer Sisters start it off so well and it just gets better. It is great to hear such a variety of artists singing such classics as 'Winter ... Read More

- Fantastic tunesIf you watch the beginning of Die Hard you'll hear a most ridiculous Rap/Christmas tune, and pray never to hear it again. But here it is. In its entirety its a tune you will never forget. Around this tune are superb numbers mixing old and new tunes. This is very different from the normal tunes, but artists like Madonna and U2 provide easy listening, while Bon Jovi gives us his slant on the Xmas theme. All in all a very special christmas record.
