Johnny Mathis "is" Christmas - all year through. Happy to extend the joy by sharing this fabulous track from Johnny's new Christmas CD this season, "Sending You A Little Christmas". The CD charted on Billboard's 2oo Holiday Albums and the title track within the top 50. "This Christmas", by Donny Hathaway, was released by a couple of other artists this season-- and my Mathis 'bias' aside-- Johnny's version stands way beyond the others. Great energy, terrific rhythm-- and as always, Johnny makes each song his own with his singular interpretations. I love this track- (I'm still playing the CD - Christmas is going to last a long time this year..!). Please enjoy.

A big thank you to Bigbandtv (Youtube channel) for allowing me to use photo stills from two performances of Johnny's with Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band!
