Who would make your list of the best singers of Christmas music?

DH started the list: Andy Williams, Burl Ives, Karen Carpenter, Johnny Mathis, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley ( Blue Christmas ), Nat King Cole,......

Any later ones?

I like all that have been mentioned but the person's voice I really liked was Dean Martin. But, I'm not sure if he did many Christmas songs.

@jlkz I discovered a new group and they are really good. They had a Christmas special on last night which was fantastic. They are called Pentatonix (a five person singing group).

Current/recent singers - - Josh Groban (sigh / swoon), Amy Grant (love her version of Hark, the Herald Angels Sing), and the late Whitney Houston (she did a great rendition of Do You Hear What I Hear).

Not singers, but for players of instruments I would say Mannheim Steamroller.

Some are repeats: Elvis for sure, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Mario Lanza, Mitch Miller and let us not forget Gene Autry AND Roy Rogers. These people come to my mind quickly and without thought.

I would also add Ella Fitzgerald and Ed Ames.

Growing up in the sixties when the Andy Williams show was popular his songs are part of my soundtrack. I recently purchased an echo and I listen to him almost. every day. I agree with your DH's list but I must add Andrea Boccelli and Rod Stewart. I love Andrea and Reba's "blue Christmas".

Johnny Mathis. No one could sing
Ava Maria like Perry Como. I like Elvis Neil Diamond and ABBA

Your list is great. I love Dean Martin as well. Didn't Burl Ives have a wonderful voice. I did see a Kelly Clarkson Christmas special last year, it was one of the best specials. That girl can sing anything. But during the special she sang songs that were amazing.

Stevie Nix — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 15:57:19 GMT

Josh Groban

Michael Buble

Stevie Nix (Silent Night)

Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"

Clyde McPhatter's "White Christmas"

Do you remember Sing Along With Mitch? Used to be part of my Christmas favorites.

I'm a Neil Diamond fan, but I don't like his Christmas songs. The year my daughter bought me a ND Xmas album I told her a few weeks before she gave it to me, "ND is one person who does not do Christmas songs well." Embarassing.

@DukeBlueNan I agree. I'm definitely going to buy one of their CDs.
