Fabulous CD I had it as a cassette years ago and it finally wore out so I was quite excited to find it again. This is one of my favorite Gladys Knight CDs. It is the only place I've been able to find the fabulous "When a child is born" duet with Johnny Mathis. It is a masterpiece and will become a family favorite!.
I'm Happy
I love Let There be Peace on Earth. I purchased this entire CD for one song. I couldn't find the single so I had to purchase it this way. I don't care because now I have this beautiful song to listen to each holiday season.
Something for Everyone
THE HAPPIEST TIME OF THE YEAR is a lush, dramatic Christmas ballad. There is such a variety of musical styles on "That Special Time of Year" by Gladys Knight & the Pips that it jump starts the ol' Holiday spirit with one listen - it's all here.
The title track and JINGLE BELLS are so upbeat they almost require a spinning mirrored ball.
Their cover of THIS CHRISTMAS has been my favorite for years. . . and this song has been covered by over a dozen top artists.
SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN is a fun cut for the kids and the kid in us all.
Also covered by other top artists is WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEARS EVE. Gladys Knight gives an outstanding performance and The Pips keep up with her every step of the way.
THE LORD'S PRAYER" and "WHEN A CHILD IS BORN are both duets featuring Johnny Mathis and are both beautiful performances.
For year-round enjoyment, this disc features two amazing recordings that will inspire and lift spirits during any season, I BELIEVE and LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH (And Let It Begin With Me). Soft, sweet and yet powerful.
Let There Be Peace on Earth
A must have at Christmas. Gladys Knight does an amazing job with the song, "Let There be Peace on Earth"! Simply amazing! It can make you cry when you hear it. I only purchased this CD to get that one song. .
A Reminder that "Life is a Sharing Thing"
I am an elementary teacher and a liturgical dancer. "That Special Time of Year" has touched the hearts of many. I am always searching for music that gives a message. This tape was has been used over the years at different times of the year to remind us to believe, be in prayer, and peace will be with you. Margaret Fox.
