Very Special Xmas 3 / Various

Description

Author: Various Artists

Format: Compilation

Release Date: 07-10-1997

Details: Amazon.ca Part three of a series of records that benefits the Special Olympics, A Very Special Christmas 3 from 1997 is as excitingly eclectic as its predecessors. Though it features the likes of R&B chart toppers and hip-hoppers Mase, Puff Daddy, and Snoop Doggy Dogg and alt-rockers No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, , Blues Traveler, and others, the real standout performances belong to Jonny Lang, with his bawdy, barroom version of « Santa Claus Is Back in Town » and Sting, who delivers a proper reading of that old English carol « I Saw Three Ships. » The showstopper, though, is Natalie Merchant’s « Children, Go Where I Send Thee » in an arrangement so rich and compelling it may top even the many five-star versions of this African-American hymn that have come before it. –Martin Keller Product description Very Special Christmas ~ Vol. 3-Very Special Christmas
