Christmas Album, The - Richard Clayderman

Advantages: JINGLE BELLS ALL THE WAY
Disadvantages: NOT SOMETHING I PLAY IN THE SUMMER

...INTRO Why is it every Christmas I find myself getting a Frank Sinatra craze (am I the only one ?). Is it because Frank Sinatra is one of the best singers of all time or is it the fact I love to sing along with his catchy lyrics maybe so, but did you know that Frank Sinatra was once called quote: "The Voice" because there's never been a better voice for a microphone than his.

...I love Christmas and have to admit to frequently going completely OTT in several areas. Over the years, I have amassed a vast amount of Christmas albums: some good, some bad and some that should really have been thrown away long ago. Among my collection of Christmas albums is The Sinatra Christmas Album. I did not intend writing a review on this but came across it whilst looking for another product on Ciao.
