Barry Manilow's 'A Christmas Gift Of Love' is a heartwarming festive album, released on 12 November 2002, under the Columbia label. This 11-track collection is a masterful blend of classic Christmas tunes and timeless standards, showcasing Manilow's signature smooth vocals and impeccable style.
The album features a delightful mix of seasonal favourites, including 'Winter Wonderland', 'Happy Holiday/White Christmas', and 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town', as well as beautiful renditions of 'My Favorite Things' and 'The Christmas Waltz'. Manilow's interpretation of 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town' is particularly noteworthy, drawing inspiration from Bing Crosby's 1945 collaboration with the Andrews Sisters, rather than the more familiar Phil Spector arrangement.
With its duration of 30 minutes, 'A Christmas Gift Of Love' is the perfect accompaniment to your holiday celebrations, evoking the warmth and magic of the season. The album's adult standards genre ensures a sophisticated and elegant listening experience, making it an excellent addition to any music collection. Certified Gold in the United States, 'A Christmas Gift Of Love' is a testament to Barry Manilow's enduring talent and his ability to craft music that resonates with audiences of all ages.
